Asimov’s Foundation

[Rough Hewn]

This is a very interesting book.

Unlike anything I’ve ever read.

The main premise is about a form of mathematics which accurately predicts the behaviour of large human populations to stimuli and events.

Anyone else read this?

Probably more well known in recent years for his law of robotics. 

His ideas are interesting, but it's no surprise that humans are very predictable, we see it a lot on this very forum .

Read the whole series. Great stuff. I like how they can’t remember her where earth is and someone suggests where it might actually be (they are correct) no one believes them. 🤣

I like his short stories as well. Some real mind benders and had me pondering over them for days. Much like Alistair Raynolds shorts.

I love Science Fiction. I’ve loads of books if you want any Saul.
