A população da Terra cresceu de modo desenfreado. Os Mundos Siderais, antigas colônias terráqueas, há muito deixaram de se sujeitar à autoridade de seus colonizadores. Para agravar a situação, os robôs parecem estar substituindo grande parte da mão de obra humana, condenando os cidadãos da Terra a uma vida que mal lhes garante a subsistência.

Em meio a esse cenário, o embaixador dos Mundos Siderais é encontrado morto em sua residência na cidade de Nova York. O investigador de polícia Elijah Baley é escalado para investigar o crime, e para cooperar com o inquérito, os Siderais enviam um parceiro inusitado: seu nome é R. Daneel Olivaw, e ele é um robô.

Indicado ao prêmio Hugo de melhor romance, o sexagenário As Cavernas de Aço é também uma das principais obras do autor, ao lado de Fundação e Eu, Robô . Nele, Asimov cria uma narrativa que povoa o imaginário popular de ficção científica e se mantém influente até hoje.

Work Description

In the future you will walk down the crowded streets of New York City not knowing if the bodies brushing past you are humans or androids. With tensions already mounting between humans and robots, the murder of a Spacer must be handled in a politically-correct fashion so Detective Elijah Baley is assigned a robot partner.

Baley and R. Daneel Olivaw become like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle s Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, Law & Order s Detectives Lennie Brisco and Ed Green, and Training Day s Detective Alonzo Harris and Officer Jake Hoyt disparate partners who must work together to solve a crime. The only problem is, Baley doesn't trust anyone not his boss, not his wife, and certainly not his robot partner.
