The Caves of Steel
By
Isaac Asimov
HarperCollins Publishers
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.
In the vast, domed cities of Earth, artificial intelligence is strictly
controlled; in the distant Outer Worlds, colonists and robots live
side by side.
A Spacer ambassador is found dead and detective Elijah Baley is
assigned to find the killer. But with relations between the two
cultures in the balance, the Spacers insist that he work with a partner
of their choosing - a robot partner, R. Daneel Olivaw.
Baley has never seen a robot like Daneel before - almost
indistinguishable from a human - and soon, though the Three Laws
of Robotics should render the crime impossible, Baley's partner
becomes his prime suspect.
