I love detective stories. Science fiction detective stories are a special treat.
This one was quite clever; it's 1962 and our hero is a robot with a limited amount of data storage. He must return to his office every night to have his memories downloaded to the mainframe. Her name is Ada by the way.
Things start to get interesting when our robot PI's tapes are not wiped perfectly. He has fragments of memories still on the tapes. This is enough for him to become suspicious about the work he does so he investigates what he can.
I thought the premise and the story itself were just terrific.
There is a novel out with these very characters that I'm dying to read.
Recommended.
