About this listen

Isaac Asimov’s Robot series – from the iconic collection I, Robot to four classic novels – contains some of the most influential works in the history of science fiction. Establishing and testing the Three Laws of Robotics, they continue to shape the understanding and design of artificial intelligence to this day.

On the planet of Solaria, Spacers live in almost complete isolation, tended by robot servants and disgusted by the thought of human contact. And yet, one of their number has been beaten to death.

Incapable of solving the crime, the authorities of the Outer Worlds seek help from Earth – from renowned detective Elijah Baley.

Partnered once again with the robot Daneel Olivaw, Baley travels to this strange new world and uncovers a plot that could change the relationship between humans and robots for ever.

Issac Asimov continues to provide a gripping detective tale spun around the unique social framework of a future world dominated by robots. Very thought provoking in its examination of this world and what it means for humanity. Despite the age of the novel his ideas are as fresh and exciting today as they were many decades ago. Highly recommended, but first read Caves of Steel for a better understanding of the background to The Naked Sun.

A great detective story and sci-fi classic
