Lije Baley, who is filled with all Earths prejudice agains robots and Spacers, must learn to work together with a seemingly human robot to solve apparently impossible crimes that threaten the fragile link between Earth and Space.
This is a time of growing concern between Earthmen and Spacers. They are set long after mankind - aided by the positronic robot - has colonized the worlds of other suns. Issac Asimov's The Naked Sun and The Caves of Steel are two of the most famous science-fiction novels ever. Despite the fact that the style of this book reads a bit like 'Dragnet', it's one of Asimov's best sci-novels and the first in the Robot Trilogy.Elijah Bailey is a cop in the city of New York, part of a future Earth completely covered in a steel dome (the Caves of Steel) and connected by moving beltways in supercities underground. R stood for robot-and Lije hated and feared robots deeply, bitterly and pathologically. And that investigator turned out to be R. The Spacers, distrusting all Earthmen, insisted he must work with an investigator of their choice. It was worse when he found that the smug, self-satisfied Spacers were behind the pressure to provide an impossibly quick solution.īut then Lije discovered the worst of all bad news. It was bad enough when Lije Baley, a simple plainclothes cop, was ordered to solve a totally baffling mystery - the murder of a prominent Spacer.
