Riassunto

Something has gone very seriously wrong with Tik-Tok¿s ¿asimov circuits¿. They should keep him on the straight and narrow, following Asimov¿s First Law of Robotics: ¿A robot shall not injure a human being, or through inaction allow a human being to come to harm,¿ But they don¿t. While maintaining the outward appearance of a mild-mannered robot, albeit one with artistic tendencies and sympathy for the robot rights movement, Tik-Tok¿s real agenda is murderously different, The chronicle of the rise of one completely amoral robot and his dealings with an assortment of deranged and maniacal humans is the showcase for the satirical genius of John Sladek

L'autore:

John Sladek (1937 - 2000)
John Sladek was born in Iowa in 1937 but moved to the UK in 1966, where he became involved with the British New Wave movement, centred on Michael Moorcock's groundbreaking New Worlds magazine. Sladek began writing SF with 'The Happy Breed', which appeared in Harlan Ellison's seminal anthology Dangerous Visions in 1967, and is now recognized as one of SF's most brilliant satirists. His novels and short story collections include The Muller Fokker Effect, Roderick and Tik Tok, for which he won a BSFA Award. He returned to the United States in 1986, and died there in March 2000.
