As you see the ...

Wow...just wow! Hats off to Mr Asimov.

Isaac Asimov shows a pretty rough future moving on to an era where the existence of the Earth itself has been forgotten. Psychohistory is seems more believable a science rather than a fancy concept.

The book is composed of 5 short stories rather than a lengthy monologue. Mr Asimov doesn't waste any time setting things up, rather moves straight to the point in each of those stories. This makes the book pretty much fast paced and exciting.

The character...

Isaac Asimov shows us why he's considered one of the greatest sci-fi authors of all time with this masterful work. Inspired by the "Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire"(a spectacular work of literature by itself), he spins such a thrilling, complex, futuristic tale of galaxy-wide scope spanning over hundreds of years that almost everything else pales compared to his genius. Most modern sci-fi novels have at least some element ripped-off the Foundation series. If you're looking for a book tha...

While it would be quite unfair to call the ‘Foundation Series’ Asimov’s magnum-opus as his genius is seen in most of his works, it deserves to be right up there with the all time best.

Asimov is the final word on sci-fi writing, and this book proves the point. Set in the distant future about a dying galactic empire it covers various aspects such as: technology, society, politics and blends it in beautiful way. This is the 3rd book in the series, and can be read as a standalone. However read...

If you like the science fiction, this book is must read. I accidentally put the order for the middle book in the 'Foundation' series. Nonetheless, reading this book is really a pleasure. Following is the chronological order in which the entire series should be read.

1)Prelude to Foundation
2)Forward the Foundation
3)Foundation
4)Foundation and Empire
5)Second Foundation
6)Foundation's Edge
7)Foundation and Earth

I was disappointed when I found many spelling mistakes and other editorial errors in my copy. And hence, I would have to rate the book down for professionalism.
And being a kid, I desperately needed a dictionary since Asimov uses hard, long words. His style is inornate. So those who look for style while reading should be wary. But the way he makes the readers reach the point is commendable. Though I had to read the book twice to fully grasp what he was trying to say, the experience was fulfi...

Well, you needed very good vocabulary in order to understand it..... it's preety intriguing to read as a sci fi reader
