On: Why to Not Write a Book

There's actually a significant corpus of robot stories. However, I did forget that "I, Robot" does have a lot of crimes, investigations, and such.

I am talking about these for example

The Caves of Steel (1954) - first Robot series/R. Daneel Olivaw novel

The Naked Sun (1957) - second Robot series/R. Daneel Olivaw novel

"Mirror Image" (1972) - short story about R. Daneel Olivaw and detective Elijah Baley

The Robots of Dawn (1983) - third Robot series/R. Daneel Olivaw novel Robots and Empire (1985) - fourth Robot series/R. Daneel Olivaw novel

Yeah I didn't really think of those as detective stories but it has been a few decades.
