MODERATORS
The Foundation trilogy is absolute peak science fiction and I should definitely re-read it.
start with the robot series. Get the full saga.
And don't stop after the trilogy there's seven foundation books in all.
Actually just read all of Asimov while you are at it.
@BeigeAgenda @FuglyDuck What about the three authorised Foundation books written by other authors since Asimov's death?
I'm generally avoiding books written posthumously, there's too many examples of mediocre to poor books being made to cash in on an author's name.
Are they any good?
@BeigeAgenda I've only read Foundation and Chaos by Greg Bear. it's pretty good but it's about events that are happening in parallel with the beginning of Foundation so the overall saga is incredibly complicated and multi-layered. Foundation and Chaos also references the laws of robotics which are not mentioned in the original trilogy.
