* [[Murder by Mistake]]: {{spoiler|Dr. Sarton was killed by a shot intended for R. Daneel (who was built to resembled his creator).}}
* [[Never Accepted in His Hometown]]: The Robots were created, developed and mass produced right on Earth almost three thousand years before the beginning of the novel, and were integral in the technological revolution that lead to space-travel, food for the whole planet and world peace, but they were never accepted into Earth society and were completely banned from the planet soon after their creation. It is only through the direct intervention of the Spacers, who have completely integrated robots into their way of life, that they are even beginning to merge with the Earthlings.
* [[Not with the Safety On, You Won't]]: Elijah is understandably disturbed when the ostensibly [["Three Laws "-Compliant]] Daneel resolves the potential riot at the shoe store by threatening to use a lethal weapon. Daneel explains to his partner that the weapon was not loaded, and that even if it had been loaded, the futuristic equivalent of the firing pin was missing; after all, if it had been otherwise, it would have been possible for him to ''accidentally'' injure a human being, something Daneel finds unthinkable.
* [[Only Electric Sheep Are Cheap]]: Natural (non-processed) food is a luxury good.
* [[Outgrown Such Silly Superstitions]]: The Spacers have abandoned religion long ago.
