I should have anticipated this really, given that this was a novel set in Asimov's Robot universe; it's more of a murder mystery (with robots) rather than a Robot story. That being said, it still plays with themes of ballooning populations, limited resources, fear of superior technology that could replace you, and interplanetary civilisation; which are all very Asimovian themes, and definitely make me keen to see where he takes this series in the next book. So I guess I'll need to get that next book now.

Review of 'Bóvedas de Acero' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Una pena que no hay ni un personaje femenino excepto el tropo misógino de mujer mala, pero es lo que hay siendo Asimov y de los 50. La pena es que la parte de la novela detectivesca es muy plana y avanza a trompicones, sin dejar al lector ir hilando en su cabeza su propia conclusión, en este sentido no ha envejecido bien al notarse esa influencia de partida de la sociedad y tecnología de los 50. Pero la parte de c.f. es muy buena y realmente se integra con la trama detectivesca y la trama general del universo de ficción que crea.
