Isaac Asimov - Naked Sun, The - 6

Naked Sun, The /Positronic Robot /3

I had fond memories of this novel from having read it as a teen, but a recent re-read left me with mixed feelings. It's an intriguiging mystery, and the exploration of some of the consequences of the famous Three Laws of Robotics is interesting. The ending is both clever and affirming. On the other hand, the Solarians strike me as completely unbelievable both as individuals and as a society. And somehow, getting the people so wrong took away substantially from my ability to enjoy the working out of the ideas.
