First published in Analog Science Fiction/Science Fact (May 1972 issue), by Isaac Asimov, this Detective Drama Short Story takes place after the events of The Naked Sun.While travelling between two Spacer planets, a ship has made a short stop at Earth. A dispute between two mathematicians, Alfred Ban Humboldt and Gennao Sabbat, has occurred, and R (obot) Daneel Olivaw has requested a chance to consult with Detective Elijah Baley on the matter.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Dr Humboldt has been thinking about a mathematics problem (one that Daneel admits he cannot understand/explain to Lije) and came to an epiphany for a specific technique in neural pathways. While aboard, he met Dr Sabbat and exchanged ideas, testing the concept against the well-respected peer's opinions to make sure they had not overlooked a flaw. Dr Sabbat was effusive with praise and, thus encouraged, Dr Humboldt prepared a paper on his idea. His account is backed up by his personal assistant; R (obot) Preston.Dr Sabbat agrees with Dr Humboldt's account, except in the reversal of names, with their own personal assistant, R (obot) Idda, supporting their story. Neither mathematician will agree to an interview by an Earthman or consent to the Psychic Probe. Detective Baley is only able to interview the robots from an impromptu television contact. From these short interviews, he is expected to come to conclusive proof for which of the two are lying and attempting to steal the credit from the other.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })"Mirror Image" has been republished several times; The Best Of Isaac Asimov (1973), Science Fiction Masters Of Today (1981), The Complete Robot (1982), Tin Stars (1986), The Asimov Chronicles: Fifty Years of Isaac Asimov (1989), Robot Visions Collection (1990), and The Complete Stories, Volume 2 (1992).
