What do you think about the Foundation books, /lit/? The premise

I liked it, it's a fun read. If you want to read to become exposed to mature ideas avoid this one.

The Foundation Trilogy was the first science fiction work I read. It was a great introduction to the genre.

Why? It's just a weird speculative idea, what sort of person cringes at that?

Fuck off you pseud

I enjoyed the original trilogy and never read beyond that. It was a nice engaging and suspenseful series.

I really dislike how Asimov always puts the full name of his protagonist in the first paragraph of EVERY story he writes. Every Foundation book begins this way, as well as every short story he's written. About half the time their name is the first word of the opening paragraph.

As far as science-fiction goes, they're foundational.

I like Asimov's more pulpy works.
