About this listen
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. 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 this strange and 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!

I love this classic
Read many years ago in paperback and I loved it. it's a good story and follow up to the Caves of steel but is truly remarkable is the current relevance to AI and humanities questions. Very well narrated.

William Dufris, could you read all Asimov’s books?
The voice acting is impressive. Such seamless transitions between characters. Well done! I which all books by this author were read by William Dufris. The whole Robot series is a masterpiece.

Superb Narrator and Fast-Paced Story
Better than its predecessor, Caves of Steel, in many ways. The story was faster, the characters were animated, the voice acting was superb. I have grown to like the protagonist, Bailey - he has dope character development.

We are in this mess for real
Compare "Viewing" and "OnlyFan" for 5 seconds... and start thinking from there... so much food for thoughts....
