This book recommendation is for The Caves of Steel by Isaac Asmiov. From the cover: “Like most people left behind on an over-populated Earth, New York City police detective Elijah Baley had little love for either the arrogant Spacers or their robotic companions. But when a prominent Spacer is murdered under mysterious circumstances, Baley is ordered to the Outer Worlds to help track down the killer. Then Baley learned who his partner was: R. Daneel Olivaw. Worst of all was that the ‘R’ stood for robot—and his positronic partner was made in the image and likeness of the murder victim!”
