This is the second time I read this book, after about five years, and for the first time in English.
I had forgotten all about the plot twist.
It kinda bothers me that Asimov didn't consider any "digital paperwork" or "security camera"s, like brooooo, haven't you read 1984?! It's okay to use that idea when you're writing about the Earth 12000 years in the future!!!
But since it's his first novel and it's very much ahead of its time, and written before the whole Foundation series and 30 years before him actually binding his books into a series, I turn a blind eye on this one.
And also because civilizations rise and fall like the Burnt City of Persia and Mesopotamia. That's how many things have to be rediscovered and reinvented every time, unfortunately.
Asimov's sexual fantasies of young beautiful women is not that strong here thank god.
The plot is everything. The characters are not cool though.
AND OMG I FINALLY FINISHED THIS BOOK NOW I CAN GO TO FOUNDATION SERIES I CAN'T WAIT
