So, this is the book Asimov first wrote after about 30 years, huh.
I was so excited Earth was mentioned again and I hoped to see a ceratin character (which I won't spoil if you haven't read the whole greater series, so, no worries). I did get disappointed and checked for the nth time when exactly Asimov published what book. And I think I have to face the truth that the character I'd love to see isn't coming back T~T
We did get a mention of Pebble in the Sky which I found very rewarding T~T
Very much enjoyed seeing three different types of genius young men.
Novi's part of the story is quite disturbing. It is not explained since when she was sent as an agent and if she had consented to that!
The big reveal of the third party was a bit frustrating since I was hoping it was either that certain character or the people of Earth. But since the next and the very last book of the series has Earth in its name, I guess I still have to wait and see.
I don't know if I had liked Gaia if I hadn't watched Pluribus. Now I have read the book with this bias and my hate for the collective consciousness. No privacy is horrible. I don't know what Trevize thought to choose this. It was great to have a character feeling and reasoning the same way we the audience do but in the end, he didn't have to choose out of the three options! He could still have the minds of the first and second Foundationers altered and say he needs to look for the answer as of option 4! And because I made the mistake of reading The Last Question before this, I know what will happen and I am not feeling pleased with the outcome. I just wanna know what Trevize will find on Earth, especially because they didn't explain why the records of Earth were wiped out from Trantor!
About the robots: I'm so glad they mentioned them! So that certain character wasn't the only one! It taught other robots and they taught humans and then left when humans learned their techniques??? Or worse, what if they dismantled themselves?????? TTTTTTTT0TTTTTTTT
The very last argument between Trevize and Bliss is quite appealing. Reminds of the two prequels of Foundation. But since this is written first, The prequels are the ones where Asimov repeats himself, so, frustrating a bit. I'm glad AGAIN that. it is not how Trevize said.
It felt awesome to be able to sympathize with a character (Trevize) and anticipate what he'd do. I thought what I would do if I were him and it kinda came out the same. So, high five Trevize!
It seems after all these years Asimov either had not learned how to write real relationships between men and women and how to write women at all, OR he still chose to write this way because of his own teenage fantasies and to satisfy male teenagers.
