Yes, it's one of his most well read books. On a merge note, I think Prix should be merged here, not the other way around.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 16:41, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, that sounds much better... ^_^ grafikm_fr 17:24, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I strongly and very passionately oppose of merging Prix here. ^_^ mikka (t) 18:21, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dates are way off, the Hungarian translation was published in 1970. --Tgr (talk) 09:39, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And in Poland, Opowieści o pilocie Pirxie (1968) contained all the novels except Ananke. I'm guessing the dates are for the English publication. --Tgr (talk) 09:45, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comparison to Asiimov

[edit]

A similar idea is present in Isaac Asimov's Robot Series, where putting a robot in a position where it cannot chose between the Three laws of robotics fries its positronic brain.

I have to say the comparison with Asimov is off-base--the central idea of The Inquest is that a human may freeze up when confronted with a no-win situation, but a machine will not. This is precisely the opposite of what happens in Asimov's robot stories. Removing.--173.239.166.66 (talk) 22:27, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
