Samenvatting

A millennium into the future, two advancements have altered the course of human history: the colonization of the Galaxy and the creation of the positronic brain. On the beautiful Outer World planet of Solaria, a handful of human colonists lead a hermit-like existence, their every need attended to by their faithful robot servants. To this strange and provocative planet comes Detective Elijah Baley, sent from the streets of New York with his positronic partner, the robot R. Daneel Olivaw, to solve an incredible murder that has rocked Solaria to its foundations. The victim had been so reclusive that he appeared to his associates only through holographic projection. Yet someone had gotten close enough to bludgeon him to death while robots looked on. Now Baley and Olivaw are faced with two clear impossibilities: Either the Solarian was killed by one of his robots--unthinkable under the laws of Robotics--or he was killed by the woman who loved him so much that she never came into his presence!

  • Asimov’s second Robot novel

    Solaria is a world with only twenty thousand inhabitants, each living in his own vast mansion with servant robots taking care of their every desire. In other words, it is a world where there is no cause for jealousy or corruption and no reason for a crime department. Yet, it is on this world where a leading scientists is found murdered. Earth’s detective Elijah Baley is called in to help out.

    ‘The Naked Sun’ is Asimov’s second full length novel in his The Robot Series. Like its predecessor it is a crime story featuring detective Elijah Baley and Robot Daneel Olivaw. This time the scene of the crime is on the Outer planet Solaria, a world where robots outnumber humans over ten thousand to one. It is almost the complete opposite to Earth in every respect. Through the eyes of Baley we slowly discover more about the nature of the Solarian society and the customs of its inhabitants. Soon enough it becomes clear that this is not simply a case of homicide alone and that stakes might in fact be much greater. More prominently than in ‘Caves of Steel’ this novel investigates the sociological implications of the state of humanity and similarly Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics play an increasingly integral part in the plot. The role of this episode in the context of Asimov’s future-history vision which in addition includes the (extended) Foundation series and the Galactic Empire series slowly starts to become noticeable. Even if it could well be that the ending will not be completely surprising due to Asimov’s undisguised storytelling this novel has a lot of interest to offer, such as a decisively twisted Solarian society to inspire awe or bewilderment about how Baley has to solve a crime in such a setting. In the end the personal change of Baley’s character as a result of his Solarian experience becomes manifest. Recommended.
