Line 37:
* [[Go and Sin No More]]: Said word-for-word by Daneel to {{spoiler|the police chief.}}
* [[Manic Pixie Dream Girl]]: Jessie was when she and Elijah met, but she has mellowed by the time of the novel itself.

And she kept Lije Baley from sinking down }}
* [[Mega City]]: Where the population of Earth lives. On average, 11.2 million in each city. The government's of three large cities (New York, Philadelphia and Washington) are considering merging into one single ''Mega'' Mega City, but the logistics of maintaining and governing such a large conglomerate have so far prevented any action on the plan.
Line 55:
* [[To Be Lawful or Good]]: Understanding that the conflict even ''exists'', much less wrestling with it, is a big part of R. Daneel's [[Character Development]].
* [[The Un-Smile]]

Baley shook his head. "Don't bother, R. Daneel. It doesn't do a thing for you."'' }}
* [[Uncanny Valley]]: In-universe, one of the reasons why robots - at least the current generation - are so unpopular on Earth; they are clunky mechanical units with disturbing facsimiles of permanently-smiling human faces on their "heads." Daneel is an attempt by his creator to avert this.
