Los habitantes de un universo paralelo en el futuro, con leyes físicas ligeramente distintas a las nuestras, descubren la forma de intercambiar materia con nosotros. Materia que, una vez en el universo de destino, y merced a las diferencias físicas entre ambos, comienza a desprender energía de forma espontánea. Una vez consumida la capacidad energética del material, éste puede volver a ser intercambiado, para recomenzar el ciclo. ¿Qué podríamos hacer con un suministro de energía gratuita e inagotable?
Más allá que cualquier otra historia, esta novela destaca por una impresionante descripción del cosmos, una visión que nos hace aún más insignificantes de lo que podíamos pensar. Con una gran maestría, Asimov nos va sumergiendo en un universo totalmente diferente al que conocemos. Un derroche de imaginación pocas veces realizado.
The godfather of science fiction, Isaac Asimov is the genre’s undisputed master and one of the most prolific authors of all time. From his famous Foundation trilogy to his later stories, Asimov took fiction to new, strange, and often wondrous places.
Biography
To list Isaac Asimov's honors, as to list his books, would be excessive. Let it simply be noted that Isaac Asimov was the most famous, most honored, most widely read, and most beloved science fiction author of all time. In his five decades as an author, he wrote more than four hundred books, won every award his readers and colleagues could contrive to give him, and provided pleasure and insight to millions. He died in 1992, still at work.
Columbia University, B.S. in chemistry, 1939; M.A. in chemistry, 1941; Ph.D. in biochemistry, 1948
