EVERY MORNING I WAKE UP AND OPEN PALM SLAM THE FOUNDATION TRILOGY INTO MY EYEBALLS. ITS ASIMOV AND RIGHT THEN AND THERE I START DOING THE MOVES ALONGSIDE WITH THE MAIN CHARACTER, SELDON. I DO EVERY MOVE AND I DO EVERY MOVE HARD. MAKIN SQUEAKING SOUNDS WHEN I WHEEL OUT OF THE TIME CAPSULE AND TELL THE FOUNDATIONISTS ABOUT THE CRISIS THEY JUST HAD. NOT MANY CAN SAY THEY CONTROL THE FUTURE WITH ALGEBRA. I CAN. I SAY IT AND I SAY IT OUTLOUD EVERYDAY TO PEOPLE IN MY COLLEGE CLASS AND ALL THEY DO IS PROVE PEOPLE IN COLLEGE CLASS CAN STILL BE IMMATURE JERKS. AND IVE LEARNED ALL THE LINES AND IVE LEARNED HOW TO MAKE MYSELF AND MY APARTMENT LESS LONELY BY SHOUTING EM ALL. 7 HOURS INCLUDING WIND DOWN EVERY MORNING. THEN I LIFT.

seldon isn't the main character of the foundation trilogy though, he isn't really even in it, he's the main character in prelude to foundation though which is also a good book

all the books outside the original 3 and maybe edge are bad, he should never have done that whole "secret immortal puppet master daneel" poo poo

naw that's alright. but it always irked me how earth was some mystical world that *gasp* had only one moon.

like in the entire universe there isn't a single planet out there that only has one moon. not one.

caves of steel owns a lot, read it. it's asimov proving wrong john w. campbell's assertion that a good sci fi detective story is impossible

my favourite shatner moment was when he wrote a book to bring kirk back to life after they killed him in generations

imo asmiov was able to do this because (and this is also the reason he owns in general) his universe has consistent, logical rules and he follows them. also, you know, that whole thing about how he is a very good writer

asimov owns the most

yeah basically campbell's argument was that there was no way you could make a story authentically "sci fi" and not also have the main character carry around a magic gadget that would automatically solve all the crimes for him

I'm guessing the doctor and Q make out at some point

i am familiar

that's what i mean, asimov's universe has rules and he doesn't cheat his way around them. he successfully built a mystery that was difficult to solve in the universe he created, and nobody got any magical "criminal detector wristbands" or anything
