The political tension which provides a nervous undercurrent to the narrative is indicated in the stickers and posters stuck on the escalators—a part of city life since Pompeii and visible, of course, in any contemporary metropolis today. 2/4

The problem here was how to reveal Daneel as a robot when he is described as looking exactly like a human being! Fortunately there are a couple of scenes in the book where Daneel "opens up"–literally–and reveals his inner makeup to Bailey. 3/4

Oh... Wild, I just saw the image pop up and said to myself, "R. Daneel Olivaw," and I didn't know _why_ I said it.
Memory is _so_ weird. Also, I just wanted to say you've captured the soul of _so_ many of the books I've read for most of my life. I very much appreciate you and your work.

I love the contrast of the empty escalator for Elijah and R. Danel with the crowded one in the background. Shows the interlocutional role Elijah plays between the two cultures. -
