Enésima relectura y, como todas las anteriores, inmensamente gratificante.
Es de esos libros que en un apocalipsis zombie no dudaría en meterlo en la mochila. En serio, una obra maestra.
Algunos críticos dicen que Asimov escribe de forma muy simple o simplista y sin embargo qué difícil es escribir como lo hace él. Muchos lo han intentado imitar y muchos fracasaron. Conseguir hacer novelas magistrales casi exclusivamente basadas en esos diálogos ingeniosos e inteligentes no está al alcance de cualquiera. Y él lo hacía de un tirón y prácticamente sin correcciones.
Un genio.

Boy. The foundation series does not age well. The climax of the book happens because
Spoilerpeople don't want to follow a woman. It's set 20,000 years in the future, and we're still dealing with this??
And the sci-fi doesn't age well either. The first two foundation books are the only ones worth reading.

Yet another great installment in the trilogy. It's definitely not a page turner, and is kind of episodic, but I definitely enjoyed it.

This is just so boring.  I dont care about Hari Seldon's life and the before.  Perhaps the last half to ending would interest me, but Im not slogging through this book to make it there
