En el Enclave Espacial, a las afueras de la Ciudad de Nueva York, un científico de los Mundos Exteriores ha aparecido asesinado. El detective Elijah Baley tiene que ocuparse de este caso en la para el inquietante y odiosa compañía de un robot humanoide: R. Daneel Olivaw. La investigación es delicada ya que puede terminar con el equilibrio entre los descendientes de la colonización estelar, en perfecta comunión con los robots, y los habitantes de la Tierra, que, refugiados en grandes metrópolis subterráneas a las que llaman Ciudades, sobreviven precariamente a la falta de recursos naturales y temen a los robots.

I should have anticipated this really, given that this was a novel set in Asimov's Robot universe; it's more of a murder mystery (with robots) rather than a Robot story. That being said, it still plays with themes of ballooning populations, limited resources, fear of superior technology that could replace you, and interplanetary civilisation; which are all very Asimovian themes, and definitely make me keen to see where he takes this series in the next book. So I guess I'll need to get that next book now.
