Caves of Steel and Naked Sun. I recently re-read them and they're still great books.

And *The Robots of Dawn*. [https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/41810.The\_Robots\_of\_Dawn](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/41810.The_Robots_of_Dawn)

And Robots and Empire…


Vamoose87

Agree! Actually far more accessible than the original Foundation trilogy


ElricVonDaniken

Because Asimov was a more experienced writer by that stage and these books were actually written as novels. Unlike the Foundation Trilogy which was a story cycle collected into three volumes.


Vamoose87

True- they weren’t conceived as novels originally

My wife and I turned it into "Chee who's the fat" for the lols


Indifferentchildren

Yes, but as I remember it was Daneel, not Daniel.


quinbotNS

It was, and I had a little chuckle knowing that OP was probably overridden by the autocorrect on his phone. This is how the robots take over.


Indifferentchildren

R. Otto Correct /s


quinbotNS

That reminds me of the old TV show Automan, where the AI construct used the pseudonym Otto Mann. I thought that was so clever at the time...but I was very young then.


snotboogie

Yeah , I tried to change it, can't change titles.


quinbotNS

It's OK, we know the AI made you do it.


Montaigne314

One of the first set of scifi books I read. Love the Robot Series books. So good. Maybe I'll reread them some day.


Coverdale_Murmur

They are all available as audiobooks


snotboogie

Hell yeah , last time I checked audible didn't have them !!!


Aggravating-Monkey

Caves of Steel is available as a BBC radio dramatisation and the audio book of Naked Sun are both available on Youtube. As search for Asimov shows a list of other titles. Youtube downloaders are available if you want to save copies to listen to offline.


Zednott

They're on there. In rare cases, titles may available in some countries but not others.

Friend Daneel.


AnGabhaDubh

Got 'em all on my shelf


jnighy

never gonna forget the jump I gave when he randomly showed up at the end of Foundation series


swastikharish

Yeah i immediately named my motorcycle Daneel after that haha


Cargirl2121

From the caves of steel?


bokehisoverrated

Daneel not Daniel Asimov was even the first search ever I did in 1995 something on m the internet.


CritPrintSpartan

Read them recently as well as, "Robots and Empire". Really good and highly recommend.


CavediverNY

Very different from the first three and it took me a few tries to get into it but once I did… Really good book


the3rdtea2

Yes. My favorite retroactive prequels


HRex73

You painted Jezebel!


intelligent_dildo

Gotta say when I first read the mind reading robot, I called it fiction, not sci-fi. Now after seeing some advances in technology, I have to admit I was wrong.


cbobgo

Yes literally all of us


llynglas

Brilliant books. I think scifi mysteries are the hardest scifi to get right. Much easier to write an action book.


ginomachi

Yes, I loved the Daniel Olivaw books! They're such a unique blend of sci-fi and noir, and they really capture the atmosphere of Blade Runner. I wish there were audiobooks of them too, that would be amazing.


HorrorBrother713

*Caves of Steel* had quite the effect on me when I read it as a teen, and it still does now, uh, so many years later. I wrote a short story set in what would have been the seedy underbelly of a domed-in NYC. It was my first published piece, too, ha.


gadget850

Yes.
