* HilariousInHindsight: The planet’s sociologist talks about how Solaria’s society is based on ancient Sparta (or more specifically, the principal of a society where slaves/robots outnumber citizens) and Baley initially not getting the reference. Modern people familiar with Sparta tend to think of their ProudWarriorRace depiction in ’’Film/ThreeHundred'' which is very much ''un''like the Solarian society, which can prompt some humor from that comment.

There's no connection to 300 here. Movies about Sparta were made long before that one

* ValuesDissonance: Elijah has trouble understanding how Rikaine could have maintained discipline among children without coming into their presence for corporal punishment. His assistant explains the man was skilled enough to make ThreeLawsCompliant robots spank children without burning out. Also, apparently, he was working on a way to produce robots capable of understanding spanking a child is for its own good.

* HoYay: To a surprising degree for a novel published in 1956. Elijah and Daneel have an awfully strong degree of chemistry, especially considering that one of them is a robot. But even Elijah himself is very much conscious of it:
