Prelude to Foundation
by Isaac Asimov
When it comes to my reading life, to be frank, it has been pretty dead. After finishing the forced readings that form the intensive experience of an MA(lit), I found my will to read crushed. Or, that was until I picked up this book. I was a big fan of I, Robot, and I have always found Science-Fiction great because it not only provides us with a glimpse into our possible futures, but it also provides a platform for us to discuss how we should better manage the technology that we have now and how our choices today impact the world of tomorrow. At the same time that this is accomplished, it provides a story that is great for readers of any age. Like most books in this genre, you can merely scratch the surface for an easy and relaxing bedtime read or you can choose the delve deep into its text to ponder the possibilities of psychohistory and the power of our contemporary sociological relations.
Prelude to Foundation brings its readers into a fascinating universe where an empire now rules of 25 million worlds while being stuck in a state of stagnation. One man, Hari Seldon possesses a key that may be able to determine the future of the empire, which leaves him stuck between factions feuding to control him and his theoretical work: Psychohistory. Throughout this story, as Asimov develops Seldon’s Psychohistory, the reader is confronted with theoretical frameworks that are related to many important areas of theoretical ideas that we see in academia now, such as the newly prominent ideas currently circulating in object theory and relational impacts on future events.
