In some ways, the world according to the story Caves of Steel are different from the world we live in today. The major differences are the cities, buildings, and methods of transportation. In the novel every city is enclosed under a huge metal dome and they fear to go outside and we live in a open space area with different kind and shape of housing, also with fresh air and sun. For transportation in every city has a complex series of moving sidewalks that people use to navigate their way throughout the city and they also use spaceships to travel from city to city, the world we live in today are kind of similar to what Asimov described but we have cars, trains, buses, boats and airplanes but not spaceships. Nowadays as technology is improving and we are the one who discovered and control over technology and gets the benefits from it which make our life easier but in the story those “earthmen” are fear of those robot/machines that one day they will replace their place in life and work or to take over their space.
