No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra.  leslie.98 | Jun 27, 2023 |  More good stuff from Asimov. Robot mysteries are awesome! I listened to it as a audio book. (  ) sgsmitty | Jun 14, 2023 | This is a classic Asimov science fiction novel, but also a mystery novel. One of his trilogy of robot novels, this follows The Caves of Steel, though only the characters are in common. Earth Policeman Elijah Baley and robot R. Daneel Olivaw are sent to Solaria on very little notice to investigate the unthinkable - a murder. Solarian society is based on extreme wealth based on a robot economy - there are only 20,000 humans on the planet and they all live in vast estates, alone. Asimov subtly shows what such a society might be like and the problems with it. Considering our recent concerns with AI and pandemic-based isolation, this is particularly relevant right now. ( ) Karlstar | May 22, 2023 | More Elijah and Daneel goodness. This time the mystery takes Elijah to the space planet of Solaria, where society is as different from earth as its possible to be. Can Elijah solve a murder on an alien world? (  ) MandyPS | May 13, 2023 | A classic! Mystery! Logic! Robots!! There's no one to compare to the good doctor. Very good to spend time with him (and his robots) ( ) mrklingon | May 1, 2023 |
 Elijah must face is extreme agoraphobia, and Gladia must confront the Solarian fear of interpersonal contact. These Solarians represent what can possibly happen when dependence on robots is taken to extremes. Also, we get to see the developing relationship between Elijah and Daneel.

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 hermitlike 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!

Good mystery but I am again of the opinion that the first book was better.

2014 review:
I didn't think that this second book in the Robot series was quite as good as the first one ([b:The Caves of Steel|41811|The Caves of Steel (Robot #1)|Isaac Asimov|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1335782224l/41811._SY75_.jpg|140376]) but it was an excellent contrast. In the first book, Elijiah Baley investigates the murder of a "Spacer" (someone who comes from another world that Earth colonized in the past) on Earth, where there are lots of people and only a few robots. In this book, Baley has been requested to go to Solaria (one of the Spacer planets) where there are few people and lots of robots.
Having experienced Solaria in the Foundation series, it was interesting to contrast it here. The Foundation series is set millenia in the future compared to this story so some aspects of the society shown in this were clear signposts to what would evolve. However, knowing the society did lessen some of the dramatic tension of the book. Perhaps that is one reason I thoought this was not quite as good as the previous one!
Asimov writes a good story, engrossing and fun, yet with social commentary to mull over once you finish. In this one, the adaptation of humans to differing social mores (in this case, specifically to be solitary vs. to be in a crowd) is explored and the ultimate consequences of these adaptations is hinted at. I found it fascinating that even the "normal" Earth attitude
is strange to us (although crowding is a not uncommon theme is futuristic sci fi). (
