The Naked Sun

*The Naked Sun* by Isaac Asimov is a science fiction novel set on the distant planet Solaria, where humans live in isolation, rarely meeting face-to-face, and interact mostly through robots and holograms. Detective Elijah Baley is sent to investigate a murder—unusual in a society that values privacy and harmony. The planet’s unique social structure, reliance on robots, and alien customs challenge Baley’s understanding. The story explores themes of social rigidity, technology’s role in communication, and the nature of trust and human connection in an advanced, but isolated civilization.
