The Naked Sun is the second novel in Isaac Asimov’s acclaimed Robot series, continuing the adventures of Earth detective Elijah Baley and his robot partner R. Daneel Olivaw. This time, Baley is sent to the Spacer world of Solaria, where humans live in extreme isolation and rely almost entirely on robots.

When a prominent Spacer is mysteriously murdered—despite living alone in a society where violence is nearly unthinkable—Baley must uncover the truth while navigating a culture that fears physical contact and distrusts Earthmen. Asimov uses the mystery to explore themes of isolation, technology dependence, social engineering, and the limits of the Three Laws of Robotics.
