I loved Asimov’s Foundation ‘trilogy’ due to its rather dated version of the
future – atomic powered watches come to mind. I had a former-colleague who
collected all his books just for the covers [many of them had little relevance
to the content] – I can’t find any online.
His foundation books are good, but the “Robot” books [Caves of Steel, Robot &
Empire, Robots of Dawn & Naked Sun[?]] are better… not that I can remember
much of the detail 10 years on…
