algorithminflux's review against another edition
5.0
I'm happy that I finally finished the story. The other books seem to cover back stories of the characters in Foundation, like Emperor Cleon I, Hari Seldon, Elijah Barlow, the Solarians, and Daneel Olivaw (among others). Since I'm eager to move on to something else, I'll leave the other books in Asimov's series for maybe another time.
All in all, a good story.

What really stood out to me was the wonderfully complex array of characters.

This would have been much better as a short story. I like Asimov's short stories but his novels are real yawners.

Disappointing! Didn't bring much new stuff to the table, both in terms of material and plot structure, and wrapped up insanely quickly. biological reductivism was always there in the previous books but very strong here, and i think some of the story suffered for it.
