  • Vasto mondo (Waterclap) è un racconto lungo di fantascienza dello scrittore Isaac Asimov. Fu pubblicata per la prima volta nel maggio 1970 su Galaxy e compare nella raccolta Antologia del bicentenario (The Bicentennial Man and Other Stories, 1976). Il racconto era stato commissionato da una major cinematografica alla Doubleday, in modo che potesse servire da spunto per un film. Ad Asimov però non piacevano le idee per i personaggi e per la storyline che gli erano stati proposti, scrisse quindi un racconto senza seguire le direttive, che per questo motivo non venne accettato con suo grande sollievo. Successivamente il racconto venne pubblicato nel numero di maggio del 1970 della rivista Galaxy. (it)
  • Waterslag is een sciencefictionverhaal geschreven door de Amerikaan Isaac Asimov, dat voor het eerst te lezen was in 1970. De originele opdracht bij tot verhaal kwam van een filmmaatschappij. Asimov zag weinig in de door hun voorgeschreven personages en schreef een verhaal waarvan hij van tevoren wist dat het niet geaccepteerd zou worden. Zo geschiedde. Het verhaal verscheen in mei 1970 in drukvorm bij het blad If en werd door de schrijver opgenomen in zijn verhalenbundel The bicentennial man and other stories, in Nederland en België uitgegeven onder de titel Vreemdeling in het paradijs.
