The Naked Sun

After spending all of his life in the cave of steel of New York City on Earth, plainclothes detective Elijah Baley is confronted with The Naked Sun and open air spaces of Solaria. In this world where two people cannot suffer to stand in the same room and where robots outnumber humans 10,000 to 1, he teams yet again with R. Daneel Olivaw to conduct yet another murder investigation of a spacer, the first such act on the planet for two centuries! That's it for the pitch of the second book of the robots series by Asimov.

The book focuses on planet Solaria and its weird ways, which have reach their highest in the Foundation and Earth volume of the Foundation Series I've read last year.

I'm only going to say this: I started yesterday, and I've finished today :) definitely a great great very great book. I unfortunately have a bit of over-work scheduled in the next couple of weeks, and then, there's this Starcraft II thing going on :) but as soon as I can, I'm on to the next volume!
