It’s Hari Seldon time!!! The mythical figure of foundation is… just a guy. I like the characters here, at least compared to the other foundations. And seeing the very early seeds of psychohistory was interesting. The plot follows the same path as Earth and Edge, but it’s not terrible, and most of the worlds they visit were interesting. It veers into the plot of Earth again, which I didn’t like, but thankfully it didnt go too far with it. Overall a solid foundation book, and set up the last book to be pretty good.

Loved this one. The last hour, when a lot of things were revealed, was my favorite. Quality tie-ins with other books.

I got this for a quarter at a used book shop and it was a fantastic introduction to one of my favorite authors. I enjoyed it more than some stretches of the Foundation trilogy, in fact.
Love it! I've been reading the robots series before and no book has caught me this way before. The way asimove imagines a futuristic world and unifies both of his stories it's incredible.
