Features: On the distant planet of Solaria, the first mysterious murder case has occurred. Solarian civilization is rooted in the extensive use of robots as slaves, with people isolated from each other, never interacting. Any Solarian, throughout their lifetime, cannot bear to be in contact with anyone other than their spouse. The victim in this case is the male head of the household, and all evidence indicates that his wife could not have been the murderer. So, could it have been a robot? However, according to the Three Laws of Robotics, robots are not allowed to kill. Earth undercover detective Elijah Baley is assigned to solve this case. He is also an Earthling who is permitted to enter the outer world, and therefore he can gather many truths about the outer world that Earthlings urgently want to know.
