Is the book/s good? I really enjoy the show.
Friend, you're talking about 1.4 million some words of world building. All connected. All remarkable. I neither know, nor care about the show, but do yourself a favor and read the whole 18 novel 3 story arc. Robots, Empire, Foundation. Genius.
What's the series? It sounds interesting!
collapsed inline media
That is all of the main story pieces, in order, from bottom to top.
Personal favorites: Caves of Steel and The Currents of Space.
Obviously, the main Foundation trilogy is a glorious space opera, but I sometimes feel its writing is a bit too dry. It almost feels like ready a piece of theatre.
Go read Prelude to Foundation asap.
I didn’t like it :(
Really?! I love how he brought robots back into the Foundation universe and explored the ineptitude of human psychology due to dogma and the stupidity of religious systems of belief.
I might give it another try, the first time around I found it forced and bland. Like Asimov tried to connect pieces that were not meant to connect, while not having a lot of inspiration
The books are good but very unlike the show.
Never saw the show, but I read through the main book series and connected works as a teen.
Was a very worthy read back then. Still warmly remember the series.
What show is this from?
Foundation
Let me know if they reply? I'd really like to know
Foundation
I found the "genetic dynasty" stuff to be the best part of the show, and apparently it's not even in the books
The genetic dynasty is one of the main reasons I didn't watch the show
It's a writing thing they did so they didn't have to swap actors all the time. The first book spans several generations after all.
Imo, the core trilogy is awsome. Prequels are mid, but add a lot if you want to go for the bigger picture. Sequels are awesome if you have read the robots and the empire saga.
Robots' saga is awesome, Empire's saga is meh
bro if you liked whatever that show was you are going to love the books
The books are good-ish, but are wildly different from the show and I am not sure I can wholeheartedly recommend them to people just because they like the show. IMO the books, as written, wouldn't not be able to be made into a show that most people would want to watch. And yet, I only tried watching the show because of the books and didn't stick with it because of how different it was. It could be worth your time, but it's not a slam dunk.
