〈영어로 읽는 고전 SF 소설 _ 아이작 아시모프의 전쟁기계〉
" Let's Get Together "는 미국 작가 아이작 아시모프(Isaac Asimov) 의 SF 단편 소설이다. 이 작품은 원래 Infinity Science Fiction 1957년 2월호에 출판되었으며 The Rest of the Robots (1964) 및 The Complete Robot (1982) 컬렉션에 포함되었다. 이 이야기에 나오는 로봇은 Asimov의 표준과 매우 다르며 전쟁 기계로 기꺼이 작동한다. 이 이야기는 또한 대부분의 로봇 이야기에서 볼 수 있는 평화로운 통일 세계보다는 냉전의 적대감이 지속되는 것에 기반을 두고 있다.
〈A classic science fiction novel read in English_ Let’s Get Together by Isaac Asimov 〉
" Let's Get Together " is a science fiction short story by American author Isaac Asimov. This work was originally published in the February 1957 issue of Infinity Science Fiction and was included in the collections The Rest of the Robots (1964) and The Complete Robot (1982). The robots in this story are very different from Asimov's standards and willingly operate as war machines. The story is also based on the continuation of Cold War hostility rather than the peaceful, unified world seen in most robot stories.
Summary
The Cold War has endured for a century and an uneasy peace between "Us" and "Them" exists. A secret agent arrives in America from Moscow with the story that robots identical to humans in appearance and behaviour have been developed by Them and that ten have already been infiltrated into America. When they get together, they will trigger a nuclear-level explosion (they are components of a total conversion bomb).
