IDSG Bonus 46: The Caves of Steel by Isaac Asimov

Daniel and I embark on what will probably be a new series within our bonus episodes. Chats about great SF novels, maybe especially SF novels about robots and AI, and maybe especially about Asimov - a big (if problematic) figure for Daniel.

In this episode we discuss Asimov's first novel The Caves of Steel, famous as the first real melding of Science Fiction and detective / whodunnit story.
