The Naked Sun is the second novel in Isaac Asimov's Robot series.
The information he brings back is invaluable to the government, which while predicting the downfall of Spacer societies; the similarities between the nature of Solarian society and Earth Society in their closed natures suggested a fundamental flaw in the Terran society.
A more thorough description of the after-effects can be found in the sequel to the Naked Sun, The Robots of Dawn.

So naturally there is a heavier element to the music, almost a slight grunge influence (but nicely warped into the Naked Sun manifesto).

 Mystery Guide - The Naked Sun by Isaac Asimov   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The Naked Sun, the sequel, is a stronger mystery; Asimov preferred it to the first book.
One reason the second book is better is that Asimov had more space to develop the mystery element in the novel, since the characters and the future society had been established in the first book.
The Naked Sun is a classic of science fiction and well worth reading by mystery fans who also enjoy that genre.

 Isaac Asimov
This lasted until about 1958, all but ending after publication of The Naked Sun.
During the late 1950s and 1960s, Asimov shifted gears somewhat, and substantially decreased his fiction output (he published only four adult novels between 1957's The Naked Sun and 1982's Foundation's Edge, two of which were mysteries).
At the same time, he greatly increased his non-fiction production, writing mostly on science topics; the launch of Sputnik in 1957 engendered public concern over a "science gap", which Asimov's publishers were eager to fill with as much material as he could write.

As well as presenting a compelling mystery and reuniting the two main characters from the previous book Daneel Olivaw and Elijah Bayley, 'The Naked Sun' paints a compelling picture of a society far removed from our own.
"The Naked Sun" is a continuation of "The Caves of Steel", introducing the detective pair Lije Bailey, human, and Daneel Olivaw, robot.
Lije is sadly, cloned from the hard-boiled detective cliche like Sergeant Friday of "Dragnet", but less so in "Naked Sun" than "Caves of Steel." Gladia, however, is quite successful as the troubled woman.

Unable to handle this unthinkable crime on their own, the Solarians have requested the assistance of an Earthman.
And so Baley leaves the comfort of the closed cities and travels to a strange and wondrous planet, where there is only a tiny human population among a great number of robot servants, where the customs are peculiar, and where he confronts the naked sun under an open sky.
With relish, Asimov demolishes the imagined utopia of the Spacer world.
