I CAN'T BELIEVE I FINALLY FINISHED THIS BOOK!
There's been a lot going on in my life recently and I was afraid that this book is really cursed. BUT NO! FINALLY! AFTER 15 YEARS I FOUND THIS BOOK IN ORIGINAL PAPER FORM AND READ THE ORIGINAL TEXT! My teenage self is soooooooooo happy he's been jumping up and down all evening! He didn't think he could read it in English but here we are! HAHA!
It starts with religion and ends with trade only. It shows how people have to create new methods in order to keep Foundation technology from harm and spread it as wide as possible.
The path this version of the future has been taking is soooo exciting, like a fun rollercoaster. I was at the edge of my seat / bed all the nights even though I was about to pass out.
The idea of religion was absolutely brilliant. I could have never guessed what Hari Seldon and his team were building in the two prequels would become this. Each character plays their part in the great current of the future even though Seldon did not plan in details. And everyone who learns their lessons well about Seldon's crisis and their current society, understands what actions they must take as well, and their name goes up next to the great Seldon. I just can't express how much I love all of these plots. The storytelling was a bit boring, I have to admit. And I just can't get along with Asimov putting names to every single character in the background. His style is so much like those detective stories; the big reveal at the end of the chapter, through dialogue. And then I went shoutin "YES BABY! BRING IT ON!"
"Nuclear reactors in the size of a thumb" AWESOME thinking! Ofc we can see a great influence of wwii here. I wonder where Dani was in these times... I have high hopes I get to see him again. Plzzzzzz T_T
When it comes to sci-fi technology only, I believe Asimov has set the bar so high that I don't think I would like any future-space-sci-fi book written after 2010s. But in the case of gender and medicine, no, barley a woman in the whole book; something I didn't expect from the perfect Foundation of Terminus. How come they haven't overcome some "fractured skull" yet?! I know it's the barbarian times but I don't expect THIS.
