Started to read this when I was too young and didn't get far. Might be better now. Hari Seldon right? Sort of like a macrocosm of life on earth: when unity is achieved on earth and our peoples go to populate other life bearing planets, over time, the people of the colinized worlds have disassociation and dissent with those on the "homeworld" and the cycle of unrest amongst brothers begins again and creates ruins of utopia.

I love Asimov. Truly one to the greats.

Correct! I was in the same boat as you. I probably tried to read it at least 3 times and never got more than 50-100 pages in. But like you, I was young and a lot of it was... not really over my head, but just not really interesting to me. A few years ago I picked it up again and read the whole trilogy. Definitely glad I did because it gets nutso toward the end.

Isn't it longer than just a trilogy? The Foundation series?

there is the main trilogy which is what you should read. written in the 40s/50s. then there are some sequels and two prequels written in the 80s and 90s, some of the sequels aren't even written by Asimov. there is the Empire series which is before Foundation but written after... Second Foundation trilogy... plus all of his works are essentially in the same universe... oi

that's the essential chronological list of Asimov's universe

Oh, I love them both, I can't decide. I am a HUGE Picard/next generation fan. MMMMM, Patrick Stewart. I don't like any of the other star trek spinoffs though like deep space nine and all that. Only the original and NG.

The original is so awesome for so many reasons. TNG took some warming up for, but I was eventually won over post Locutus.
