Mirror Image (Asimov)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Mirror Image" is a 1972 short story by Isaac Asimov, originally published in Analog Science Fiction and Science Fact, and collected in The Best of Isaac Asimov and The Complete Robot.

After having received numerous requests to continue the story of detective Elijah Baley and his robot R. Daneel Olivaw, featured in his earlier works such as The Caves of Steel and The Naked Sun, Asimov wrote this short detective story of an authorship dispute between two scientists. After an assistance request from Daneel, the Three Laws of Robotics are once again used by Elijah to solve the mystery, when he interrogates the robot servants of the two scientists.
