Gabor Gurbacs “It is the chief characteristic of the religion of science that it works.” -Isaac Asimov (Foundation) What a great book! Worth a re-read! https://t.co/zZte4xGWUr (Source)

Yaro Starak Then I got into sci-fi and I’ve always sort of loved the space-opera genre probably more than anything else so Isaac Asimov has been huge, I actually only read that in the last 5, 10 years, his entire Foundation series. I went through those from start to finish and they were quite amazing, so easy to read but also big ideas in there. So they were huge in terms of leaving a mark. (Source)

Michael Shalyt Start with Sci-Fi at a young age, to cultivate hope and belief in a better and bigger future for humanity. Asimov's Foundation series is a good example. (Source)

Yuriy Zaremba Amazing, complex stories, which trigger a lot of thoughts and new ideas. I think what people miss sometimes is how many similar values and ideas these book series communicate. (Source)

Amy Webb Asimov was a masterful fringe thinker, and this first book in the Foundation series shows just how attuned he was to possible and plausible future scenarios. Although it’s 50 years old, Foundation is especially provocative reading given our current state of world affairs — in order to save humankind and the vast knowledge we have accumulated, the main character gathers the smartest thinkers and forms a secret society. But that doesn’t go exactly as planned, either. (Source)
