Make Me A Robot
The Naked Sun (Robot, volume 2)
By Isaac Asimov
1957’s The Naked Sun is the second of Isaac Asimov’s science fiction mystery robot novels1.
Having successfully resolved the matter of Spacer Roj Nemennuh Sarton to everyone’s satisfaction (save perhaps Roj), New York police detective Elijah Baley discovers that the reward for accomplishing a difficult task is an even more difficult task.
Summoned to Washington, DC, Plainclothesman Baley discovers he has been assigned another Spacer murder. The last one took him to unfamiliar Spacertown. This new case will send Baley somewhere far more exotic.
But first, some background.
