In this chapter we look at one of his positronic robot detective novels, The Naked Sun, and contrast it with his other robot novels.

In 1956, people across the world and across the political spectrum both welcomed and feared automation. New production techniques promised cheaper goods but also threatened jobs. Science fiction already had a long history of examining the potential impact of automation; Isaac Asimov, in his robot stories, analyzed the issues more deeply than anyone else. In this chapter we look at one of his positronic robot detective novels, The Naked Sun, and contrast it with his other robot novels.
