Oh wow we finished it!(Jeff Bridges's tone:) End of line man!While reading the first hundred pages, I talked to a cool book-reader lady about how much I dislike this book because of the misogynistic characters. She said: “By reading the books of that era of how casual misogyny was and how women could only do what was expected of them, like being the servant of the husband, you see what kind of motive men had to create a robot.”Her words struck me. I decided to keep on reading and reminded myself that:1) Humans are accustomed to their evolution. Anything else is uncomfortable to them.2) Society moves much slower than technology. Up to this very moment of 2024, our world is still patriarchal and misogynistic.The story pace was awfully slow. It dragged me like a prisoner whose ankle was tied to the ankle of a camel in a desert. The camel didn't walk much and the heat got worse every minute.I know I had been waiting for the sci-fi parts but when the story did reach them in Book 4, they were horribly long and disinteresting. Just like how water is merely a mirage in the desert.I don't think I have ever skipped such long explanations in a book. The Edison guy couldn't shut up.I know, I know, I bought the book because of the first use of the word “android”, but more importantly, Edison's and that English guy's motive hasn't changed in 138 years. Their dream is finally coming true in 2024. They would have cried in joy seeing sex robots; One of the many reasons why “Incel becoming scientist” is the extreme danger and produces Viktor Frankenstein from [b:Frankenstein 12974171 Frankenstein Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1546419388l/12974171.SY75.jpg 4836639]. Beware!And so, 4 minutes of silence for Mrs. Anderson, Hadaly, Alicia and Evelyn.P.S.: The university of Illinois printed this book on acid-free papers, which is a shame! The papers are awesome and I could draw stuff on them happily if most of them were empty!!!! (Wtf with this cover image?!)

Why was the cover design so irrelevant?!
The influence of WWII nuclear weapons are all over the Foundation trilogy.
These people just don't stop smoking even if the world is going to fall around them!!
Finally, a female character who actually makes a difference in the course of the story and isn't sexualized on every page but merely 5 times at max!!
Man, I guessed right who the antagonist is at the very first moment but Asimov misled me successfully. Shame :)))))
It's interesting how Asimov introduces something new that one might think it's fixed and always true, and then he himself introduces an exception. He's done this in the short stories with Susan Calvin.
Very much liked the idea of influencing emotions and so the reasoning and actions of people are influenced by the new layer of emotions. So cool!
This rollercoaster was fun. Jumping to the next, the promised one! Second Foundation!
