    Friend, you’re talking about 1.4 million some words of world building. All connected. All remarkable. I neither know, nor care about the show, but do yourself a favor and read the whole 18 novel 3 story arc. Robots, Empire, Foundation. Genius.

          Personal favorites: Caves of Steel and The Currents of Space.

          Obviously, the main Foundation trilogy is a glorious space opera, but I sometimes feel its writing is a bit too dry. It almost feels like ready a piece of theatre.

                Really?! I love how he brought robots back into the Foundation universe and explored the ineptitude of human psychology due to dogma and the stupidity of religious systems of belief.

                  I might give it another try, the first time around I found it forced and bland. Like Asimov tried to connect pieces that were not meant to connect, while not having a lot of inspiration
