5/5 stars

Yeah, wow. Just like The Caves of Steel, this is a fantastic book. It explores humanity on Earth and other worlds, it questions the three laws of robotics and again, it just incredibly well written and thought out.

Interestingly, The Naked Sun feels a little more dated than the first book in the series but it’s still and absolutely wonderful bit of reading.
