"Harlan's World"

"Harlan's World" refers to the fictional planet Harlan, created by science fiction author Isaac Asimov as the setting for his robot stories and the "Galactic Empire" series. It is depicted as a distant, Earth-like world, significant for its strategic location and its role in interstellar trade and politics. The planet's society, history, and technological development are often explored to illustrate themes of leadership, cultural differences, and the relationship between humans and robots. While not as extensively described as other planets in Asimov's universe, Harlan's World serves as an important backdrop for his narratives.
