Summary
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. Isaac
Asimov's
Robot novels chronicle the unlikely partnership
between a New York City detective and a humanoid robot who
must learn to work together.
Like most people left behind on an over-populated Earth,
New York City police detective Elijah Baley had little love
for either the arrogant Spacers or their robotic companions.
But when a prominent Spacer is murdered under mysterious
circumstances, Baley is ordered to the Outer Worlds to help
track down the killer.
The relationship between Life and his Spacer superiors,
who distrusted all Earthmen, was strained from the start.
Then he learned that they had assigned him a partner: R.
Daneel Olivaw. Worst of all was that the "R" stood for robot
- and his positronic partner was made in the image and
likeness of the murder victim!
