[Hidden-tech] Remote Work

[Robert Heller]

I wonder if anyone on this list has read the Asimov novel "The Naked Sun". It
features a planet where the *human* residents rarely/never ever meet in
person. Each *human* lives / works alone on a huge "estate" populated by
thousands of robots and humans only ever meet using a super high tech / 3D
version of something like Zoom.... (Somehow, despite virtually no pysical
human interaction and with all of the robots under the 3 Laws, someone gets
murdered so they have to import a detective from Earth to solve the crime...)
