R. Daneel Olivaw SÅ KLART!
Utan tvekan skulle jag vara den bästa roboten som den litterära världen någonsin skådat, nämligen R. Daneel Olivaw som Isaac Asimov beskrivit i en mängd böcker (inte minst i stiftelsetrilogin). Han är SÅÅÅÅÅÅÅÅÅÅ cool!
Encyclopedia Galactica (Uppslagsverket som florerar i Asimovs böcker) beskriver honom på följande sätt:
Olivaw, R Daneel. Humanoid robot constructed, 4920AD, in Spacetown on Earth by Drs Sarton and Fastolfe. Assisted Elijah Baley in solving the death of Dr Sarton in 4921AD and again in solving the death of Rikaine Delmarre. He was placed in charge of the "mirror-image" case which involved two mathematicians aboard a Spacer vessel in which he solicited the help of Elijah Baley. In 4724AD he again partnered Elijah Baley when the Earthman was requested by Aurora to prove the innocence of Dr Fastolfe when he was accused of rendering the humaniform robot, Jander Panell, inoperative. Last to see Elijah Baley alive. Joined the establishment of Gladia Solaria after Dr. Fastolfe died. Independently postulated the notion of the Zeroth Law of Robotics. Together with Giskard, deduced that Amadiro and Mandamus of Aurora where planning to increase the radioactivity of Earth and thus make the planet uninhabitable. Unfortunately he failed in his attempts to thwart the plan. Obtained the ability to control human emotions from Giskard. Daneel did what he could, with his new abilities, to save Earth and its inhabitants. At one point he tried to coerce the Galactic Empire to deliver uncontaminated soil to Earth. When this failed he arranged for the final inhabitants to be transported to Alpha.
Daneel, in his attempts to guide humanity, assumed the persona of Eto Demerzel and maneuvered himself into the position of First Minister under Emperor Cleon I. It was in this position that Daneel assisted Hari Seldon in his Flight across Trantor and in realising his dream of psychohistory. Daneel was quick to grasp the importance of psychohistory in the development and guidance of humanity. In order to protect Seldon, it was Daneel who appointed Dors Venabili as his protector in 12020GE. In order to create unrest within the Imperial government, and without realising the truth of it, Leskim Joranum accused Daneel of being a robot. An indictment which eventually convinced Daneel to stand down as First Minister. For many thousands of years Daneel tried to come to terms with the Zeroth Law of robotics until he engineering the founding of Gaia. His plan was to help humanity become a single organism and, thus remove its abstraction. When he considered Gaia mature enough he first maneuvered Golan Trevize to Gaia in order to decide the future of mankind and then to his current location on the Moon in order to bring the hermaphroditic child Fallom to him where he could make use of the greater capacity of the long-lived Solarian brain that was independent of Gaia.
Fan jag måste läsa stiftelseböckern igen. Jag får ståpäls av det här
Fly me to the moon and let me play among the stars
