About the book:
Asimov's Robot novels are the best argument that SF can do everything a literary novel does, character, moral complexity, philosophical weight, while also delivering a locked-room murder mystery set on a claustrophobic future Earth where people fear open sky. Lije Baley, a flat-foot detective who's never been outside a sealed city, is paired with R. Daneel Olivaw, a robot so humanlike the question of what separates them becomes the actual subject of the series. The Caves of Steel and The Naked Sun are tight, brilliant inversions of each other, the first set underground, the second on a world so sparsely populated that human contact is considered obscene. By Robots and Empire, Asimov is playing the long game: tens of thousands of years of human civilisation, and the quiet question of who's really been steering it. Sold as a matched set (The Caves of Steel + The Naked Sun + The Robots of Dawn + Robots and Empire).
