Hence, that most of Asimov's robots take the narrative form of a puzzle or problem is no accident. With these stories, Asimov is trying to represent a period of normal science in which robotics has already been established. He seeks to convey to the reader the intellectual pleasures of using ingenuity in the puzzle solving that occurs within a new scientific paradigm.
William Touponce, Isaac Asimov (Boston: Twayne, 1991), pp. 3435
