Author: Isaac Asimov
Book 4 of 7: Foundation
This book feels fresh and well written than
all three books before it. I think the reason is the times it was written, and the
other thing is the writing experience the author had at this time.
Reading this book is not what you were
expecting to read, because it is not like the last three books. This time it is
more character-driven, unlike the past books that were all about technology
plots and twists. Still, it is a part of the main series and starts after the
five hundred years of an event from the last three books but I am not
mentioning the event just in case someone didn’t read the previous books.
It is well written as you can expect from a
master like Mr. Isaac Asimov and grips you for most of the time but in the end,
some people may not like it but that entirely depends on who is reading. The main
reason is the technology that is introduced but I loved it because I knew the
hints and the way these were copied in other books and even a lot of games. It is
written in almost the modern era so you can actually feel the transformation of
tech in this book to our daily lives now and what we can see coming in our
future.
This time it is about an enemy thought to
be extinct but still in control from the shadows with strings to power in hand.
I felt a technology war is going on and we are going to see which side has
better tech plus a new concept that is being used in many movies and science
fiction ever since this book came out. We already found out about mind control
or mind manipulation, but this time this concept increases to the point of
planetary level and that is what I liked a lot.
Even with this great plot I believe in free
will and that may be the reason some of the readers may feel conflicted and
that is all I can say about this subject. Comment or message me about your
thoughts on this matter after reading the book.
Synopsis:
“The fourth novel in Isaac Asimov’s classic science-fiction masterpiece, the Foundation series
THE EPIC SAGA THAT INSPIRED THE UPCOMING
APPLE TV+ SERIES FOUNDATION, COMING 9/24/21
At last, the costly and bitter war between
the two Foundations has come to an end. The scientists of the First Foundation
have proved victorious, and now they return to Hari Seldon’s long established
plan to build a new Empire on the ruins of the old. But rumors persist that the
Second Foundation is not destroyed after all—and that its still-defiant
survivors are preparing their revenge. Now two exiled citizens of the
Foundation—a renegade Councilman and a doddering historian—set out in search of
the mythical planet Earth . . . and proof that the Second Foundation still
exists.
Meanwhile someone—or something—outside of
both Foundations seems to be orchestrating events to suit its own ominous
purpose. Soon representatives of both the First and Second Foundations will
find themselves racing toward a mysterious world called Gaia and a final,
shocking destiny at the very end of the universe.”
The only reason I am not giving a full
rating is the way it may not feel good to some readers at the last parts of the
story.
