I, Robot by Isaac Asimov. Initiated by the desire only to reform, improve the social order within Eternity, Harlan comes to a decision to destroy Eternity at all. This problem, over the solution of which the whole generations of thinkers fought in the past, acquired exceptional acuity in our era, when the development of science and technology put into the hands of people incomparable means of destruction and creation, put- ting humanity in the dilemma for the sake of what goals may be reached.
What really sets this book apart in our mind is the fact that it kept us guessing up until the very last page. Who is the real creator of Eternity? What role is Eternity playing in stunting the evolution of humanity?
What does that have to do with space travel? Who or what is keeping the Eternals from reaching the Hidden Centuries? Without those hypothetical assumptions, made by the author, there would be no fascinating novel, nor warning about real dangers on the way to the great future of mankind. And for this novel of prevention we can only be grateful to Asimov as a writer, scientist and human- ist.
