El hombre se ha dispersado por los planetas de la galaxia. La capital del Imperio es Trántor, centro de todas las intrigas y símbolo de la corrupción imperial. Un psicohistoriador, Hari Seldon, prevé, gracias a su ciencia fundada en el estudio matemático de los hechos históricos, el derrumbamiento del Imperio y el retorno a la barbarie por varios milenios. Seldon decide crear dos Fundaciones, situadas en cada extremo de la galaxia, a fin de reducir este periodo de barbarie a mil años. Éste es el primer título de la tetralogía de las fundaciones, una de las más importantes dentro del género de la ciencia ficción.

Review of 'Foundation' on 'Storygraph'

The Foundation series are some of my favorite books. They're definitely a product of their time (Asimov was clearly more comfortable with writing short stories for magazines than with writing novels, and his biases are obvious in the misogynistic treatment of the few women in the story) but their basic ideas hold up well.

I personally really enjoy the rather dry political tone, and both the lack of focus on character development and the long time-skips are fitting given the premise of the story (which posits a theory of "psychohistory" in which the overall trajectory of a large group is emphasized over the actions of individuals, and which can be used to predict and direct the future over long periods of time). The plot twists and reveals also never come out of nowhere, and sufficiently tie back to previous details to make each individual part feel neat and tidy.

This is a very good novel- the beginning of a major life's work. Clearly no one should expect this novel comes to a closure. It is instead a beginning of a' mystery' and tale of evolution.

Now that I am getting an understanding of Bookwyrm, this is my first useful Review. We tend to critically review literature through the lens of evolutionary psychology.

What we find in both sci-fi and all fiction really is the ignorance of how enslaved we are to evolutionary drives, behaviors, and thinking. In this fabulous book, once again mankind has surpassed all imaginable science and technology. Yet, humanity's nature destroys it all, taking the universal Empire back to chaos.

You might argue, well ain't that showing our evolutionary natures. Why, yes, it is. My critique is, why can't we grow in intrinsic self-awareness as we grow cerebrally? The problem always is in fiction is such intrinsic self-awareness cannot be attained in a top-down manner. The ability to manage our primitive drives, behaviors, and beliefs, is attained through somatic and mindful awareness.

But, if we evolved beyond our evolutionary behaviors along with our progress in science and technology, we'd have no good science fiction to read!

The same way there is comfort food the Foundation and Robot novels and stories are comfort readings.

Leí la fundación de Asimov cuando era bastante joven en los libros en papel que andan por casa de mis padres y ahora me ha dado por volver a releerla (ya que la tengo en digital).
Mi idea es leer la saga completa entre libro y libro de los que no he leído nunca.
Este primer libro tal, y como ocurrió la primera vez que me enfrenté con él, me ha encantado y lo he leído en menos de 1 semana (lo cual es todo un record dado mi escaso tiempo de leer últimamente).
