Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas
"Future New York would have been a great place to live in .. . if it weren't for the deadly helpfulness of its robots . . . and the fact that someone chose the worst man in the world to murder!"
('Caves of Steel' by Isaac Asimov)
Set a thousand years in the future, in an overpopulated New York City, a prominent Spacer is murdered. New York City police detective Baley was not fond of the Spacers or their robots, but must accept the help of a positronic partner. Classic Asimov. Select an invention:
