4,5 ⭐️Relectura de mi novela preferida de Asimov, por delante de los nueve relatos de "Yo robot", de "Bóvedas de acero" y de la trilogía de "La Fundación". Dentro de la Ciencia Ficción, los viajes en el tiempo son mi debilidad y este clásico es de los buenos.Mis impresiones.Estamos ante un clásico de la Ciencia Ficción de fama más que merecida. En esta ocasión, Asimov explora la idea de una organización, la Eternidad, que, tras haberse hecho posibles los viajes temporales, permaneciera fuera del...

I just had to do a little retro SF catch-up, grabbing those old classics by big-name SF authors that I haven't yet had the pleasure to read, and this one kept cropping up as one of the best of the best by Asimov. You know, OTHER than Foundation and the Robot novels. Of which, a few are sub-par. We'll ignore all of these for now and focus on this standalone.About time travel in a kettle, kinda like Wells' time machine, only let's make a society of men, only men, living outside of time a-la Time L...

ΤΕΛΟΣ ΤΗΣ ΑΙΩΝΙΟΤΗΤΑΣ ΑΡΧΗ ΤΟΥ ΑΠΕΙΡΟΥ. Μυθιστορηματική γαλαξιακή παραδοξολογία του "χρόνου" που σε συγκλονίζει. Η επιτομή της επιστημονικής εξωφρενικής έμπνευσης,η αιωνιότητα με τις απαραίτητες αλλαγές πραγματικότητας,οι "Αιώνιοι",που πράττουν με εγωιστική τεχνητή νοημοσύνη και αλλάζουν την ιστορία του γαλαξία με απρόσμενες συνέπειες. Το καλύτερο βιβλίο επιστημονικής φαντασίας που έχω διαβάσει ως τώρα!!Ποτέ δεν ήμουν οπαδός της τετράγωνης λογικής,των μαθηματικών,της χρονικής μηχανικής και των ε...

С огромно удоволствие си препрочетох една от най-великите книги на Айзък Азимов! Отново съм възхитен от гениалната „Краят на вечността“, чрез която той умело описва проблемите, до които биха могли да доведат откриването на начин за пътуване във времето и съответно постоянното извършване на промени в реалностите на множество столетия... Постигането на Вечността, от която учени да поправят всички човешки грешки във всички епохи е една примамливо идилична визия за бъдещето, обаче се оказва, че има ...

Me he propuesto este año empezar, timidamente, con lecturas de ciencia ficción y pensé ¿por qué no empezar con uno de los grandes? Así que elegí a Asimov y su fin de la eternidadAl principio pensaba que me iba a perder entre tanta explicación y palabra técnica pero enseguida me enganchó la historia, y como siempre me pasa con novelas cuya temática tiene que ver con los viajes en el tiempo, me entró la paranoia y ya no puede dejar de pensar en las paradojas temporales, y en este libro hay muchas:...

Final review, first posted on Fantasy Literature:Re-reading a favorite book from your teenage years is always a risky endeavor. I’ve been dismayed by how often my youthful memories are tarnished by a re-read, and I end up wondering if my taste as a young adult was all in my mouth.But I couldn’t resist trying The End of Eternity (1955) by Isaac Asimov again, partly because I remembered liking it so well as a teenager, but my memories of it were so extremely hazy (for the longest time, until a Goo...

Nutshell: antisocial nerd, responsible for historical amendments to spacetime continuum, dicks it up for everyone in order to lose virginity.Eternity is an interdimensional NGO, set up in the 27th century (32), initially to carry on intertemporal trade (43), which trade was promoted as its primary purpose. Its true primary task is to "prevent catastrophe from striking mankind" and "to breed out of Reality any factors that might lead to such knowledge" of its biotemporal management of human histo...

I've always felt that Isaac Asimov writes brilliant science fiction with boring characters. I love a good time travel story, mostly to see what this author's take on the usual time travel paradoxes will be. Anyone who writes about agents changing history has to explain how they deal with things like the Grandfather Paradox, meeting earlier or later versions of yourself, and so on. There are a handful of well-known ways to deal with these issues (alternate timelines, a deterministic universe, spe...

If you haven't read Asimov's SF classic, it's one of those time-travel stories where you can change the past. The people with the time machines are a shadowy, infinitely powerful organisation called the Eternals. They flit around in time, changing things "for the good of humanity". Except that, as I'm sure you already guessed, it isn't quite clear after a while that humanity is benefiting from all this attention. The agents who are responsible for making the changes are called Technicians, and t...
