The Naked Sun

I couldn't wait to read this book after its predecessor. I was happy to see that Elijah Bailey, and his robot partner R. Daneel were the protagonists again.

This time the plot happens in one of the 49 other planets. Again Asimov was able to reproduce a possible branch of evolution to our society. One where people live alone at big houses and are fearful of personal contact. They interact with each other only by a sort of “visual phone”.

Where on Earth there are nearly any robots, in Solaria there is 10.000 robots per human, and 20.000 humans.

The homicide Elijah was tasked to solve was very interesting as well, like the first book was too. He was also more fun of Deneel.
