Another detective story of the future that allowed Asimov to explore the Three Laws of Robotics, the peculiarities of the individual Spacer Worlds, and their comparison to the people still living on Earth. I will say that the Elijah character and his Colombo/Sherlock Holmes persona is feeling a bit tired at this point. As much as I enjoyed this book and its exploration of these various topics I am hoping that either it is the last I see of Elijah or that the next time it's not yet another whodunit.

This is the stop by stop narrative style of how to hike the AT without sleeping in the woods most night that I was looking for! This combined with FarOut and other guidebooks is what I was looking for!

In my very amateur opinion his is a pretty solid cursory look at how to "Platinum Hike" and a good reference list for stops of various kinds and rating. Think of it like a travel guide for the AT. I do wish they spelled out some of the more complicated steps a little more explicitly, such as how to handle the drop offs and luggage transfers, etc. However I imagine the reason they didn't is the very unsatisfactory "it depends", so there is not much more they can go into that.

On to the next book in Asimov's Foundation Series reading list...

The robot series keeps getting better and better. It was very interesting to explore the implications of a society that has replaced almost all labor with robots and the implications on population density, social interactions, and related phobias.

@fu@millefeuilles.cloud No. But I found an English Translation which is a trilogy. So I will own all three regardless. That's why I added all three to the list at one time.
