I really liked this book and will read others in the series. I found the way the Foundation sneakily forced its presence onto surrounding planets and the way it used religion to be very interesting. I could not walk on any of the wooded trails in this area because the yellow flies were just terrible! They forced me into sunnier spaces. #audiowalk #ClassicLSFBC

I walked in the morning, so it wasn‘t a hellscape out there. Still enjoying Foundation. I remember a fair amount of women in the tv series, but I think there‘s only been one in the book so far and she was a receptionist. #audiowalk #ClassicLSFBC

I had watched some of the tv series with my husband but never read the book. It‘s not what I was expecting, but I‘m really enjoying it. I‘m already more than half way through. #audiowalk #ClassicLSFBC

Man, this book had to do a lot of work wrapping up the Hyperion Cantos series. It was a wild ride and I will miss the characters and the universe around them.

59/100 I've never been a big fan of Asimov, I find his writing kind of dry, but I did enjoy the entire Foundation trilogy. The fall of the Galactic empire was predicted by Harry Seldon, and through his Foundation, the dark ages after the fall would only be 1,000 years instead of 30,000. Personally, I think the trilogy gets better as it goes along, but the first book is a solid story with plenty of interesting characters. 4🚀🚀🚀🚀 #ClassicLSFBC

RamsFan1963 Btw if you want to listen to the audiobook, I highly recommend it. The narrator is Scott Brick, one of my personal favorites. 1w

Two immortal assassins from a dystopian future are trapped in endless battle. Each time one of them kills someone, they are transported together to a different time and place. Can they put aside their differences long enough to save humanity, or will their violent nature lock them in a cyclical pattern of death? Lee Bermejo is possible my favorite artist working today, and he gets to flex some serious skill in this wild, stimulating thriller.

In a distant future, humanity expands outward in an endless quest for resources that can be exploited, and individuals must justify their existence to merit food, oxygen and even consciousness. When an accident sends Juna and Mai to the surface of a wildly inhospitable moon targeted for resource extraction, they face a hostile environment and first contact with a life form unlike anything humanity has ever encountered. Fascinating.

This excellent sci-fi novella follows a group of Human Equivelent Intelligence (HEI) bots who start their own noodle restsurant when their bosses abandon them. A malicious anti-bot review campaign threatens to destroy their business but their skills-- and their community--help them win out in the end. I think fans of Becky Chambers will find a lot to love in this one.

Hari Seldon uses the statistical techniques of psychohistory to foresee the coming collapse of the Galactic Empire and starts a Foundation which will help shorten the coming period of barbarism since the collapse of the Empire is now inevitable. We observe the course of history through a series of snapshots in the first couple of centuries of the Foundation's existence. ⬇

rwmg A very quick read. 60 years on some features of Asimov's galactic civilisation are more obviously firmly rooted in the America of the 1940s and 1950s when the Foundation trilogy was written. Asimov's debts to Gibbon are also obvious. Nevertheless, he expertly sucks the reader in for the ride. Great fun.
