Robots Of Dawn - Isaac Asimov
This book is one of 3 books that make up The Robot Novels. Actually, almost all of Asimov's novels are connected (and in an ingenious way, if I may add my opinion), but these three are related closely, because they are telling the story of the same two characters, through no more than a 10 year period. This series is connected to the other books, and so are all the others amongst themselves, but these connections sometimes stretch through dozens of thousands of years. Because I read these three novels after reading a considerable number of the others (in Hebrew or English), I was able to get a very wide view of the story line along the ages, and the different interstellar occurrences. I find that almost all the books are interesting by themselves, but that in whole the totality of his novels create an amazingly vast new universe, with it's own history, and interplanetary politics. Yes, his books are far from being only about spaceship battles and lasers, for there is a great d!eal of politics and psychology of humans, and robots. And so, all three books are about Elijah Baley, and his robot assistant, Daneel Olivaw. In their time, Earth is no longer the only planet inhabited by human beings. Th
The book follows Baley in his investigation, until the mystery is solved, and Baley returns to Earth. I find the ending, quite horrifying and extremely disturbing. Not knowing whether you've read the book already, I must restrain my will to reveal it here. I can just say, that in the end, the reader understands that something there, served as a beginning, a basis to something described in other books of his, which I myself find very disturbing. And the fact, the realization (sudden understanding that certain fact) , that it began this way - is horrifying to me. The tree books are quite alike, because in all of them a murder takes place in the Spacer society, and Baley, who is a police detective on Earth, is called upon, to solve the mystery. In all three of them he is teamed up with Daneel, who is an experimental humanform robot (a robot that resembles a human in its appearance), and with which/ whom Baley becomes close friends. Also, there is always some political matter involving Earth-Spacer relations, and Baley's neck is at stake. ere are also the "Spacer Worlds". Many years before, the people had started to leave earth, and settle new planets. They brought their own ecosystems to the new planets, destroying the little or no microscopic life that was there and making them more Earth-like in nature. Since they could choose, they chose not to bring any harmful microscopic creatures with them, and so the new planets were completely un-infectious and pure. The people who left Earth, slowly became long-lived and healthier,
