Foundation by Isaac Asimov |
| Foundation is an interesting take on a certain philosophy of history dressed up in a classic space opera. It's faith in social science is entertaining, and the use of the Roman Empire as a template for all of history will not be unfamiliar to the doomsayers of today. The "science" in this mid-twentieth century sci-fi classic will seem quaint in our age of luxury, but this has the effect of making the book more endearing. If you like old-school science fiction and haven't yet read this book, you definitely should.

 Best Sci-Fi series ever. After 60 years it still stands the test of time, topically, socially, and technologically. -- Cabin Boy on 02/03/2013 |
