Isaac Asimov
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.
On the planet of Solaria, Spacers live in almost complete isolation, tended by robot servants and disgusted by the thought of human contact. And yet, one of their number has been beaten to death.
Incapable of solving the crime, the authorities of the Outer Worlds seek help from Earth – from renowned detective Elijah Baley.
Partnered once again with the robot Daneel Olivaw, Baley travels to this strange new world and uncovers a plot that could change the relationship between humans and robots for ever.

I noticed a slight problem though - In the chapter "A Woman is Viewed" the narrator says "The chequer-board was made up of a six-by-six square. The number of possible arrangements would be 236 then, or seventy billion. More than enough!" but it should be read as "The number of possible arrangements would be 2 to the power of 36". The original book clearly shows it as a power using superscript. I suspect the narrator was reading from a scanned text which has removed the superscript.
Not a problem, but thought I would mention it as the maths doesn't make sense in the way it is said in the audiobook.
Great Story - Minor Error in narration

I have been hoovering up these classic Asimov tales as they are released on Audible. Naked Sun is even more ‘Agatha Christie’ than some of the previous ones. It consists of a seemingly impossible murder scenario painstakingly unravelled by the hero, and having a delicious double twist at the end.
Asimov used some of his novels to experiment with different scenarios of the way human social life could evolve. In this book I found that aspects of the way that people lived on the planet Solaria with its ‘Brave New World’ resonances stretched credibility somewhat. Also, one or two of the extended expositions from Solarians on their way of life were just a little too long.
The story was not as compact and satisfying as Caves of Steel and so, regrettably, I give it only four stars. William Hope’s narration though was excellent, and for me he has become the authentic voice of classic Asimov.
Sadly, this book is the last of the robot series that Asimov wrote in the 1950s. The next in sequence, The Robots of Dawn, was written thirty years later and is very much longer and more drawn out, with the action and enjoyment diluted as a result.
Very good
