The Foundation trilogy tells an epic, galaxy-spanning story over the course of some 400 years, telling the early history of what is known simply as, well, the Foundation. … and, as of today, I’ve started reading the fifth of the Foundation novels.Īs the first three books, Foundation (1951), Foundation and Empire (1952), and Second Foundation (1953), form the original trilogy, and I thought it would be worthwhile to blog my thoughts on the trilogy as a whole. A few weeks ago, I read Asimov’s Foundation (1951), and blogged my thoughts about it.Īsimov has written seven books set in the Foundation setting I figured that I would be content reading the first one, to get a feel for it, and then move on to other authors and other series… A natural and obvious place to place some emphasis is on classic works from the golden age of science fiction, and a natural and obvious place to start there is with the work of Isaac Asimov. I’ve recently been trying to become more acquainted with science fiction as a genre, as most of my life I’ve been focused primarily on horror fiction.
