The naked sun

Book • 2004
"The Naked Sun" by Isaac Asimov is a science fiction detective novel set in the distant future.

Detective Elijah Baley of Earth is summoned to the Spacer world of Solaria to solve a murder.

Solaria is unique as its inhabitants, who are waited on by robots, live vast distances apart and rarely meet in person.

Baley, who suffers from agoraphobia, must overcome his fears to solve the crime.

The story explores themes of isolation, technology, and the future of human relationships.

Asimov's narrative combines elements of mystery and social commentary to create a thought-provoking vision of a society radically different from our own.
