Richard Alex Jenkins
is 70% done
70% and enjoying it almost as much as The Caves of Steel.
It's more of a crime thriller than before, but R. Daneel Olivaw hardly gets a look in, which is disappointing.
It reminds me of Brave New World - but less zany and odd - for its flawed utopian outlook.
Asimov's perception of the future in the 1950s was incredible - less kids, remote contact, more free time, leading to... I'm not sure yet!

My third Isaac Asimov book after reading I, Robot and The Caves of Steel.
