For this episode I read "The Caves of Steel" by Isaac Asimov. "Caves" is a murder mystery sci-fi story, though the mystery aspect is second fiddle to the science fiction background. This was a fun book to read and I am glad Josh Wetenkamp (https://twitter.com/wetjosh, https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/science-fiction-shorts/id1466031504) recommended this to me last year.
