Isaac Asimov's Robot Series – from the iconic collection I, Robot to four classic novels – contains some of the most influential works in the history of science fiction. The establishment and examination of the Three Laws of Robotics continue to shape our understanding and design of artificial intelligence today.

In the vast, dome-shaped cities of Earth, artificial intelligence is strictly controlled; in the distant outer worlds, colonists and robots live side by side.

A Spacer ambassador is found dead, and Detective Elijah Baley is tasked with finding the murderer. However, as the relationships between the two cultures hang in the balance, the Spacers insist that he work with a partner of his choice – a robot partner, R. Daneel Olivaw.

Baley has never seen a robot like Daneel – almost indistinguishable from a human – and soon, despite the Three Laws of Robotics making crime impossible, Baley's partner becomes his prime suspect.
