The Caves Of Steel - Blog Posts

So It's been a month since the "Ephemeridia Galactica" Zine (You can find It on @theasimovzineproject) so I think I should post the piece I did! (Separately cause yeah)

We are Running the Streets Friends and Enemies!

(I think I could strive to do even Better next time but I'm really glad I challenged myself with this)

If I had a dime for everytime I got a friend of mine into reading "The Caves of Steel" by talking to them about the some philosophical thinking I made in it, I would have Two Dimes.

And It isn't much but it's funny that it happened twice

I got friend of mine into reading The Caves of Steel and they are at the tenth chapter currently, they told me "I feel like the story dropped a crucial clue to solve the Mistery but I can't pinpoint it clearly" and I was there trying to not giveaway anything like "Oh really? Tell me more"

Reminds me of one time that a friend of mine was like "I don't like books where everything is too easy for the protagonist" and I was like "Oh you'd like The Caves of Steel, the protagonist gets the case wrong not once but twice" and he goes "What happens? Twice?" and This sends off me making a two minutes long message explaining the plot

Some mystery writers suffer from making their detective characters too inhumanly clever, with flawless and logical reasoning.

Asimov never made that mistake. He really just had Elijah Baley go in front of the chief of police, point at his android partner, and say “This man is no robot! He faked his own murder and is now pretending to be a robot! I know this because I peeped on him in the bathroom and his penis was incredibly lifelike. No one would give a robot such a realistic penis!” and then has a panic attack and passes out when he finds out that the genitals he’d been ogling were not, in fact, genuine human flesh and his robot partner is made entirely of metal.
