Thankx. That's kinda what I suspected but also so many people seem to enjoy it. Sounds like it's not for me
Just to give a little bit more to the previous comment. If you go in with the right mentality, you may enjoy it more. The book isn't character driven, it is a book of ideas. You have to be invested in the "world" and be curious about how things will play out on a very large scale. If you go in looking for a hero and a villain, you won't really find one. What's there is a concept and its execution. It's a long form thought-problem, for better or worse. Personally, I love it, but if you don't, then you dont.
Thanks, this has gone a long way towards encouraging me to open a battered old copy of the Foundation Trilogy I was gifted years ago.
Yea I might be able to get into it with that in mind too. Thanks y'all
The TV series is quite different, but retains most of the core concepts. It's much more character-driven, and looks absolutely gorgeous. Highly recommended for anyone who likes sci-fi.
