Review: The Basis of Modern Sci-Fi - Asimov is one of the best authors I have ever read. Part of his brilliance is the complete degree with which he creates a very real world for the reader. But another crucial part is that the people you read about are real people. Sometimes sci-fi can do silly things, like "and then he pulled out his super-gun and blew up the evil space-ship." Asimov never settled for silly or second rate endings. The endings feel real--the sci-fi element just adds another dimension to the tale. This book can be kind of a slow starter--especially if you've read any of Asimov's Lije Baley novels--but the depth of this book is entirely worth it. It also has a bit of a lull in the middle for some readers. Keep going. It ties up so well at the end, that you wonder why you ever doubted Asimov. The trilogy is best read as a trilogy. The books are good individually, but amazing all together. I almost feel like the trilogy would have been better divided into two books instead of three... but I'm not the brilliant writer here. Reading the Foundation Trilogy is also great because much of today's science fiction takes it's cues from this earlier work. The galactic empire of Star Wars is perhaps a darker reflection of the galactic empire of the Foundation trilogy. Star Trek also takes a number of cues from this series. Yet one of the way it differs is that there are no extra terrestrials in the universe of Foundation. This makes it an unusually intimate exploration of humanity. (Much in the way Firefly has no aliens.) All in all, if you like Science Fiction, you will love this book. If you like books that make you think about things from a different perspective, you will like this book. If you like books with unexpected plot twists, you will love the ending of the trilogy. If you like books that explore human nature, you will like this book.

Very fancy

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If no other SF is read, this would be enough
*by D***T on December 3, 2023*

I love science fiction (SF) and know that the Foundation Trilogy is one of the best examples of well written SF (SIDE NOTE: While I never even touched it, my alma mater UMBC has one of the rough drafts in its special collections.) I fortunately chose it to introduce my teen son to SF and afterwards he agreed that it was a great read. My other recommended (both my opinion and ratings from groups ranking "top ten" [supposedly] "good" SF books and short story (probably the best format for SF) collections were not so well received, so I didn't win him over to being an SF-addict. Surprisingly, only one of the three public libraries (in different counties) that I go to has the trilogy on its shelves. NOTE: The TV series based upon the whole Foundation series (both the original trilogy and the decade-later Asimov approved follow-ups) shouldn't be used to gauge the original trilogy.
