Description

A millennium in to the future two advancements have altered the span of history:  the colonization of the universe and the creation of the positronic brain.  Isaac Asimov's Robot novels chronicle the unlikely partnership between a New York City detective and a humanoid robot who must learn how to function together.  Like many people left out on an over-populated Earth, New York City police detective Elijah Baley had little love for either the arrogant Spacers or their robotic companions.  But whenever a prominent Spacer is murdered under mysterious circumstances, Baley is ordered to the Outer Worlds to simply help find the killer.  The connection between Existence and his Spacer superiors, who distrusted all Earthmen, was strained from the start.  Then he discovered they had assigned him someone:  R. Daneel Olivaw.  Worst of was the "R" stood for robot--and his positronic partner was produced in the image and likeness of the murder victim!
