‎Foundation‎

‎Collins Mar 1994. New impression. Paperback. Foundation" marks the first of a series of tales set so far in the future that Earth is all but forgotten by humans who live throughout the galaxy. Yet all is not well with the Galactic Empire. Its vast size is crippling to it. In particular the administrative planet honeycombed and tunneled with offices and staff is vulnerable to attack or breakdown. The only person willing to confront this imminent catastrophe is Hari Seldon a psychohistorian and mathematician. Seldon can scientifically predict the future and it doesn't look pretty: a new Dark Age is scheduled to send humanity into barbarism in 500 years. He concocts a scheme to save the knowledge of the race in an Encyclopedia Galactica. But this project will take generations to complete and who will take up the torch after him The first Foundation trilogy "Foundation Foundation and Empire Second Foundation" won a Hugo Award in 1965 for "Best All-Time Series". It's science fiction on the grand scale; one of the classics of the field. -- "Brooks Peck Collins paperback‎

‎Foundation and Earth‎

‎Grafton Oct 1986. Hardcover. Written after the original trilogy and foundation's edge but before "prelude" and "forward the foundation" this novel gives us the conclusion to the foundation series. In foundation's edge the ever mystic foundation and second foundation were reduced to triviality by newcomers on the planet Gaia who have had a superior grip on things all along. For me this somewhat spoils the mystique of the first three books however in "foundation and earth" this storyline is used quite effectively to strengthen the link with the robot series as the search for earth continues. n Readers of the original series may be disappointed in the lack of twist and turns in the plot as this book only really concerns itself with one storyline which plods rather lethargically to its conclusion. You almost get the feeling someone is behind asimov with a cattle prod trying to get as many words out him as possible for what is essentially a short story forced out into a novel. Nevertheless it is asimov and as such there is no predictability and while no two characters are really that different from one another there's a great intellectual weight behind the dialogue and narrative.

‎Robots and Empire‎

‎Collins Jan 1994. Re-issue. Mass Market Paperback. This book is one of Asimov's most enjoyable and I am currently re-reading it for the second time in 9 years. nParticularly the ruminations between Giskard and Daneel. Daneel maybe the humanform but it is Giskard that is the more powerful robot and between the two of them they surmise quite amazing insights on the human mind and how that plays off their own robotic laws.nTheir eventual discussions lead them to the development of a three laws of humanics and the possibility of predicting human behaviour on a mass scale and tying this in to Hari Seldon's psychohistory from the foundation series.nBuy this book and really get into the positronic heads of the two robots it won't disappoint and it is a perfect precursor to the later foundation series. I read Foundation first and then this and the related robot stories and I think this works best as the robot books do unleash a lot of hidden information that is only alluded to in the Foundation series.

‎The End of Eternity‎

‎HarperCollins Publishers Ltd Aug 1971. Re-issue. Paperback. This was the Good Doctor's response to Heinlein's seminal 'By His Bootstraps': a time travel novel that adds more to the mix than just man-goes-back-to-meet-his-grandfather. nAsimov envisions a society that has tasked itself with improving the lot of mankind by introducing carefully calculated changes in the time flow a society of 'Eternals' that live outside of the normal time stream in their own environment constructed with full living habitats in each century all powered by a thin line to the far future when our sun goes nova. It is a caste society with each individual rigidly relegated to the status and job they are deemed best suited for from Maintenance to Computer to Technician. The individuals are recruited from the normal time flow as the Eternals by their own rules are forbidden to have children. nAndrew Harlan is one such recruit who is quickly tabbed as having the emotional makeup and intellectual skills to be a Technician one of those who actually implement changes in 'normal' time. Somewhat naive a little bit of an aesthetic who is somewhat bothered by hedonistic societies that he is sometimes required to observe or change he finds himself in a quandary when he falls in love with a lady from such a society. Determined to have her he decides on actions that he knows might bring about the end of Eternity for he has determined a great secret just how Eternity was started in the first place. nAsimov unravels the mysteries and paradoxes of this situation in his usual inimitable style carefully laying down the parameters of the problem leaving clues lying about here and there which Harlan obsessed as he is blithely ignores all leading to a grand climax that gives new perspective to the traditional time paradox problem. The idea of time 'inertia' where the effect of changes that are introduced to the time line slowly die out is an interesting one and is carefully folded into the plot line. Though other books envisioned a corps of people who manage time the society shown here is better fleshed out than just about all previous attempts not to be surpassed until Fritz Leiber's The Big Time. And possibly there would not be another better worked out 'solution' to the basic riddle of the time paradox until Heinlein's 'All You Zombies.' appeared. As an intellectual exercise then this book is excellent. nBut as is also typical for Asimov his characterization is somewhat weak although he does a better job here than in some of his other works. Harlan is too one-dimensional too driven a little too arrogant about his own abilities to be totally believable. Noys his ladylove is almost a nonentity although she will become one of the lynch-pins of the final resolution. And Computer administrator Twissell is very close to a stereotype. Still the characters are adequate to move the plot and as this is an idea driven novel not one of character this failing is not fatal to the enjoyment of the book. nThis is one of the very few Asimov novels that is not part of his Foundation or Robot sets. Read it if for no other reason to see just what he could do outside of those confines.n--- Reviewed by Patrick Shepherd hyperpat HarperCollins Publishers Ltd paperback‎

‎Before the Golden Age Volume 3: A Science Fiction Anthology of the 1930's‎

‎Futura Orbit Sep 1975. New Ed. Paperback. From a despised literary sub-genre science-fiction has grown to be one of the dominant creative forces in the 21st century world. Serious literary critics may still disregard it but its touch pervades film tv advertising product design popular music and of course the world of the internet.nSo where did science-fiction come from Isaac Asimov gives us the answer in this substantial collection of early SF magazine stories from the 1930s. It is part anthology part autobiography and as such tells us not only what the stories were but what they meant to Asimov and the other future writers who would together create the 'Golden Age'.nSome of these stories are very naive - as science as literature or both. But together they map out the lines that SF has pursued ever since - hard core stories based on the latest scientific research speculative fantasies based entirely in the mind of the writer reinterpretations of history what-if stories which change just one thing in our daily experience and of course pure testosterone man-against-the-universe stories.nAnd it's a hugely enjoyable read - as long as you take it for what it is.

‎Second Foundation‎

‎Collins Mar 1994. New impression. Paperback. Whilst it is best to read second foundation after 'foundation' and 'foundation and empire' it is not essential as the prologue fills you in on the basics of the previous two novels.nThe book goes a long way to explain the purpose of the mysterious second foundation but the main focus is on its location and the search for it by both the mule and the first foundation.nThe first half puts order into the chaotic situation left by the events in 'foundation and empire' and follows many twists and schemes that make it entirely engrossing without giving the slightest hint of the dramatic ending.nThe second half provides the real substance of the book a rebellion of the first foundation against the ideals of the second foundation. This leads the reader to question the entire idea of psychohistory as the first foundation does not like to think of itself as being 'controlled' by the second even though it knows that the interference of the second foundation will result in a bright peaceful future for mankind.nThe book is laid out with a new twist to the plot in every chapter making it almost impossible to put down especially towards the end. nThe most interesting parts are meetings of the second foundation members which explain the inner workings of the seldon plan along with how the arrival of the mule affected it.nThe characters are well presented and are developed only as much as is necessary to keep the fast pace of the novel going but are entirely believable and link in with the characters in the previous books.nSome people like to read the last page of a book first doing this with second foundation and indeed with the entire foundation series will ruin the book utterly.
