“It is from this Point On, Earth Itself that is the True World of the Podcast.”
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police, it is said, “always get their man.” I haven’t checked, but I’m confident that’s been updated. “Always get their human” might not work perfectly in the context of Asimov’s Robot Novels, so let’s settle on “always get the perpetrator.” A perpetrator could be an animal, vegetable, or mineral.
In Elijah Baley’s time, millennia in the future, it isn’t clear whether New York City has grown to include parts of Canada but it isn’t likely. If it had, Lije would have been part of this same tradition. And yet, as we’ve noticed, Lije hardly ever “gets” the guilty party. Usually, he has figured out who it is, but the actual “getting” part never actually happens. It’s like watching an episode of Law & Order where the latter half kinda goes off the rails. As we approach the denouement of The Robots of Dawn we have to ask… will Lije finally have an unqualified win?
You want to know! You need to know! We know! And we talk about it! Let’s go!
And in one week… Episode 50!
