The Robots of Dawn
Isaac Asimov
Doubleday & Company
1983
First edition, stated
Lije Baley, interplanetary detective, takes on a puzzling case of "roboticide" on the planet Aurora, the self-styled World of the Dawn, where humans and robots coexist in seemingly perfect harmony. It is there on Aurora what the most advanced robot in the universe - an awesomely human machine - has been murdered.
Only one man on Aurora had the means, the motive, and the opportunity to commit the crime, and he has hired Baley to to prove he didn't do it. To make matters worse, Baley learns that not only his career but the fate of the Earth as well is riding on his investigation.
Armed with only his own instincts, his sometimes quirky logic, and the immutable Three Laws of Robotics, Baley sets out to solve the case. But can anything prepare a simple Earthman for the psychological complexities of a world where a beautiful woman could easily have fallen in love with an all-too-human robot?
