"The Naked Sun" by Isaac Asimov.

Follow up to "The Caves Of Steel," but it can work as a stand alone.

In the future, humanity is split between the inhabitants of the Earth and the Spacers.

Earth people live in vast mega-cities and most are agoraphobics who would never step outside. They also hate and fear robots.

Spacers live on distant planets [FTL drive is real] On one world the population is limited to 50,000 humans, and each one owns hundreds, if not thousands of robots.

    When I was like 11 or 12, "The Naked Sun" was the first non-kid's novel I read all the way through. There were parts that didn't resonate bc I was just a kid but it was a memorable experience and I spent the next 6 years reading all the science fiction I could get my hands on.
