The Naked Sun
by Isaac Asimov (Doubleday, 1957)
audiobook read by William Hope (HarperVoyager, 2024)
A short story’s worth of mystery spread rather too thin across a novel-length exploration. With Earth detective Elijah Baley as his mouthpiece, Asimov pits two extremes against one another and thus postulates his way deeper into the sociological implications of robot dependency.
