My boring, predictable top 3 ZZ Top albums would be Tres Hombres>Deguello (which I guess isn't available on any commercial steaming, although you can find all but one of the songs on compilations)> Eliminator.
The sequel to The Caves of Steel, The Naked Sun, has the detectives go to a planet of germaphobes where all the kids are raised by robots and all the adults live alone is giant houses so that they don't have be near gross germy real people, except during their government mandated baby-making sessions. I read it during the pandemic, not knowing that was what it would be about, and I thought it was pretty good. It's funny that the plot wouldn't work if the citizens of this planet, who can travel through space and build robots and project holographic images of themselves for their Zoom meetings, could ever figure out how to impregnate someone without having to do it the old fashioned way.
