I got this book because it seemed like a cool edition of The Foundation Trilogy. I later discovered that it glows in the dark when I turned the lights off to go to sleep.

    Just to give a little bit more to the previous comment. If you go in with the right mentality, you may enjoy it more. The book isn’t character driven, it is a book of ideas. You have to be invested in the “world” and be curious about how things will play out on a very large scale. If you go in looking for a hero and a villain, you won’t really find one. What’s there is a concept and its execution. It’s a long form thought-problem, for better or worse. Personally, I love it, but if you don’t, then you dont.

      Thanks, this has gone a long way towards encouraging me to open a battered old copy of the Foundation Trilogy I was gifted years ago.
