Like its predecessor, The Caves of Steelthis is a whodunit story. The book was first published in after being serialized in Astounding Science Fiction between October and December The story arises from the murder of Rikaine Delmarre, a prominent "fetologist" fetal scientistresponsible for the operation of the planetary birthing center of Solariaa planet politically hostile to Earthwhose death Elijah Baley is called to investigate, at the request of the Solarian government. He is again partnered with the humanoid robot R. Daneel Olivawand asked by Earth's government to assess the Solarian society for weaknesses. The book focuses on the unusual traditions, customs, and culture of Solarian society. The planet has a rigidly controlled population of 20, and all work is done by robotswhich outnumber humans ten thousand to one. People are taught from birth to avoid personal contact, and live on huge estates, either alone or with their spouse only. Face-to-face interaction referred to in the book as "seeing"and especially impregnating a The Naked Sun, when replacement of a descendent is necessary, was seen as a dirty chore. Other science fiction novels examine the extra-uterine care of fetuses, but this is not Asimov's concern here. Communication takes place The Naked Sun technology unknown of off their world: holography3-D television. At the time, 2-D ordinary color television was a novelty, with very limited programming and not many of the expensive receivers. Asimov was a scientist with a wide range of interests, and was familiar with the principles of electron microscopes then being developed, and from which holography descends. The Solarians have no modesty when communicating with each other in this fashion. In the book it is referred to as "viewing", in contrast to "seeing", which is face-to-face and dangerous, because a disease could be transmitted. Nudity was frequent. Baley, however, insists on face-to- face conversations, traveling in a closed vehicle because of his own agoraphobiaresulting from his life in the enclosed cities of Earth. Normally the prime suspect in a murder would have been Delmarre's wife Gladia, who was present in the house when he was The Naked Sun by being beaten over the head. She claims to have no memory of what happened, nor is there any sign of the object used to beat Rikaine Delmarre to death. The only witness is a malfunctioning house robot that has suffered damage to its positronic brain because it allowed harm to The Naked Sun done to a human, in violation of the First Law. Baley's first encounter with Gladia is through viewing, at which point he discovers that Solarians have no taboo about nudity when viewing, though Baley is shocked. Thereafter he develops a relationship with Gladia in face-to-face contact. She reveals to Baley that she does not like all Solarian customs, and was on bad terms with Rikaine, partly from sexual frustration. The situation becomes more complex when Hannis Gruer, the Head of Security on Solaria, is poisoned while viewing with Baley. Baley, unable to intervene physically, has The Naked Sun call on Gruer's robots to save him. Baley is able to prevent the house robots from cleaning up the scene and destroying evidence, which happened after Delmarre's death. Ultimately, it is revealed that Delmarre's neighbor, roboticist Jothan Leebig, was working on putting positronic brains in spaceships. This would negate the First Law, as such ships would The Naked Sun recognize humans, and would be able to attack and destroy other ships without regard for their crews. Delmarre was one of his opponents, as were other Solarians who were horrified by the prospect of robots that could actually harm them. Leebig poisoned Gruer by tricking his robots, using his knowledge of positronic brains, into putting poison into Gruer's drink. Daneel goes to arrest Leebig, who kills himself in Solarian fear of human contact, not knowing that Daneel is a robot. It is assumed that he also engineered the murder of Rikaine Delmarre. Baley conceals Gladia's role on the grounds that her emotional breakdown was under the pressure of the Solarian way of life. Leebig had instructed the Delmarre house robots to detach an arm and give it to Gladia in the heat of an argument. She then hit her husband with it, killing him, before The Naked Sun into a fugue stateafter which she remembered The Naked Sun. She decides to emigrate to the Spacer planet of Aurora. Baley returns to Earth to acclaim from his boss. Asked by his boss to reveal any weaknesses he found, Baley says that the features once regarded as Spacer strengths; their robots and long lives, will ultimately prove to be weaknesses. They discourage an active, exploratory attitude that Earth-born humans will eventually rediscover once they are able to leave Earth. The story of the aftereffects can be found in the sequel The Robots of Dawn. Galaxy reviewer Floyd C. Gale praised the novel as "an The Naked Sun exercise in scientific detection Asimov appears to be laying the groundwork for a new category of science fiction, the S-F detective story". Asimov portrays in The Naked Sun a world focused on avoiding The Naked Sun with other people. The Solarians use social distancingand interact with each other largely through technology. They live far from each other, spread out across a sparsely populated planet. Communication is frequent, but it is "viewing" of a transmitted image. To make a baby, which is infrequent, requires that a male and female do it the traditional way, but old-fashioned, in-person sex is a nasty The Naked Sun. A character remarks that to be in the same room with another person is "most unpleasant I feel strongly as though something slimy The Naked Sun about to touch me. The dangers of in-person contact are so feared that a character commits suicide to avoid it. In contrast, when there is no in- person contact, there is no modesty about the body; nudity is frequent. Asimov suggests that to live in this way is unwise; it leads to the violence which is the novel's point of departure. The novel was adapted for television as an episode of the British anthology series Out of the Unknownwith Baley being portrayed by Paul Maxwell and Daneel by David Collings.

A millennium into the future, two advancements have altered the course of human history: the The Naked Sun of the Galaxy and the creation of the positronic brain. On the beautiful Outer World planet of Solaria, a handful of human colonists lead a hermit-like existence, their every need attended to by their faithful robot servants. To The Naked Sun strange The Naked Sun provocative planet come A millennium into the future, two advancements have altered the course of human history: the colonization of the Galaxy and the creation of the positronic brain. To this strange The Naked Sun provocative planet comes Detective Elijah Baley, sent from the streets of New York with his positronic partner, the robot R. Daneel Olivaw, to solve an incredible murder that has rocked Solaria to its foundations. The victim had been so reclusive that he appeared to his associates only through holographic projection. Yet someone had gotten close enough to bludgeon him to death while robots looked on. Now Baley and Olivaw are faced with two clear impossibilities: Either the Solarian was killed by one of his robots - unthinkable under the laws of Robotics - or he was killed by the woman who loved him so much that she never came into his presence!

The story arises from the murder of Rikaine Delmarre, a prominent "fetologist" fetal scientist, responsible for the operation of the planetary birthing center reminiscent of those described in Aldous Huxley's Brave New World of Solaria, a planet politically hostile to Earth, whose death Elijah Baley is called to investigate, at the request of the Solarian government. He is again partnered with the humanoid robot R. Daneel Olivaw, and asked by Earth's government to assess the Solarian society for weaknesses. Oct 30, Merphy Napier rated it really liked it Shelves: science-fictionfour-starsadultclassics. Asimov is quickly winning my heart. His work with AIs and world building are phenomenal. He can even make me love a genre I don't tend to read detective mysteries. I can't wait to read more. View all 3 comments. A disrespectful title because the series is barely about robots. But a good novel and very enjoyable because it shows. How limited humans will always be because they are slaves. To their neuroses and obsessions unlike robots who do not. Have such errors in programming and so The Asimov does. An excellent job when speculating how a society formed by. Indulging these neuroses and The Naked Sun becomes a closed and toxic. Society because that is the kind of society that humans. Build best and The Asimov does an excellent job in. Making The Naked Sun a murder mystery because it will always be. A mystery to robots why humans always murder each other. View all 4 comments. Dec 01, Manny rated it liked it Shelves: science-fiction. It's the purest speculation, but I have a theory The Naked Sun Isaac Asimov may The Naked Sun had an affair with a Swedish woman somewhere around At that time he was in his mid 30s, and had been married for around 10 years. The evidence? Well, he wrote two novels in rapid succession, The End of Eternity and The Naked Sun The Naked Sun, which, very unusually for The Naked Sun early Asimov, contain sexy female characters that play an important part in the story. Both of them have Swedish-sounding names with romantic associations.

In The Caves of Steel The Naked Sun, I was most fascinated by Elijah Baley's world, an Earth with crowded underground cities and a populace used to eating yeast, but terrified of the open sky. The Naked Sun introduces the planet of Solaria, and their culture of isolation. Each human is alone, attended by a fleet of robots, and never comes into personal contact with or even within close proximity to another human. Which is why Baley is imported from Earth to solve a Solarian murder mystery: the murderer had to In The Caves of SteelI was most fascinated by Elijah Baley's world, an Earth with crowded underground cities and a populace used to eating yeast, but terrified of the open sky. Which is why Baley is imported from The Naked Sun to solve a Solarian murder mystery: the murderer had to have actually seen the victim, The Naked Sun this is simply not done on Solaria. The concept of Solaria is so absorbing that it The Naked Sun up much of the book. The murder is solved along the way, of course, and the workings of Asimov's positronic brained robots are further developed. It was great to get a wider look at the spacers, though The Naked Sun Solarians are by no means typical. It's a hyper-regimented, ultra-reclusive society that is still at least vaguely believable. Big ideas, structured worlds, The Naked Sun great writing. I only wish I'd read this sooner. Nutshell: superstar earthling detective imported to dyslibertopian planet to investigate murder.
