I have thoroughly enjoyed all three books in this trilogy (Caves of Steel, Naked Sun and Robots of Dawn). Telling a murder (or "murder") mystery against a background of a futuristic society is a fascinating and different way to explore human potential. Trying to solve the mystery alone was interesting enough to keep the pages turning.
Having read the Foundation series, it was also interesting to see Asimov set up events that could lead to creation of the Empire and, later, the Foundation. It has also been interesting to read about the societies on the planets I was introduced to in Foundation and Earth.
Written in 1983, this is an attempt at tying the 'Robot Novels' to the Foundation series (begun ca. 1940) thru 'Prelude to Foundation'. It gets a little stilted as the author stretches to make the point and the sexual content places it 'out of time' with the original Robot stories and the original Foundation series.
The Robots of Dawn ---- by Isaac Asimov c - 1983 ---- Part of the robot series - allot of issues were worked out here. ---- A classic tale ---- Enjoy! ---- RichardPaul

Not as good as 'The Caves of Steel' and 'The Naked Sun', but a good conclusion to the trilogy. Helps to tie up all the loose ends.
