About this listen

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.

Thrilled to find this series on audible. One of Asomov's best. Hard to believe it was written in the fifties.

Outstanding!

I found Asimov's Foundation books to be pretty transcendent, so I had high hopes for this. It might have been monumental at the time, but unfortunately it now feels quite generic. I struggle to see much difference between this and the plot of I, Robot - A robo-sceptic cop must team up with a bot to solve a murder. On the other hand I got through it in one go and it flew-by.

Generic sci-fi murder mystery
