Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Fiona MacDonald

I first read the Foundation Trilogy about twenty-five years ago, and have been eager to return. Asimov's series is set 50,000+ years in the future, when humanity consists of quadrillions of people living in a great galaxy-spanning empire. The mathematician Hari Seldon invents psychohistory, allowing him to predict the future course of mass movements in history. He creates a pair of storehouses of human civilization, the Foundations, to mitigate the effects of the coming fall of the Galactic Empire his calculations predict. We follow the Foundations through centuries on their way to hastening the coming of the Second Galactic Empire. Reading the book again, I can see the benefit of having gained a high-level outline of the history of the Romans that I lacked last time I read the books. The broad themes and some specific characters from the history of the Roman Empire provided some of Asimov's inspiration. I was also amused by the somewhat dated take on the far future from Asimov (Foundation was written in 1951). Messages are delivered printed and wrapped in capsules, newspapers are widely circulated, information and media are passed around on microtape that must be threaded though a viewer and smoking is quite common, with ashtrays (that disintegrate ashes) a common household fixture. Still a great read that captures the imagination.
