Isaac Asimov
(1920 - 1992) was born in Russia and was both an author and a scientist. He wrote science fiction and popular fiction novels, as well as short stones and essays.
Like many of Azimov’s books, The Caves of Steel (1054) is set in the future and features robots. It is partly science fiction and partly a crime story. Elijah Daley is a human detective from New York City, where the people live inside enormous buildings the ‘caves of steel’ in the book’s title - completely cut off from the world outside. Baley is going to meet his new partner, a ‘Spacertask robot called R Daneel Olivaw.
Spacers are advanced people from faraway worlds, and they live in Spacelown, a separate city near New York. Earth men dislike Spacers, and they also hale the clumsy robots which have become a necessary part of the human world, so Baley is very uncomfortable about his new assignment.
