Sadly, this hadn't a lot of Foundation stuff in it and it's actually the weakest in the series so far. lol* (Those knowing the series will know the different between the First and Second Foundation and therefore what I'm referring to. In the end, however, as played out in the book's final scene, Asimov's regrets as he approached the end of his life had less to do with what the future might have held than with the indelible past. libro escrito por Asimov, y publicado después de su muerte, e historia que sirve para unir con el inicio de Fundación.

Hacia la Fundación es una novela conformada por una serie de relatos largos en los que se narra la vida Hari, Dors, Raych, Demerzel, años después de los acontecimientos en la novela anterior. He died of a heart attack and kidney failure, so he might also been in poor health during the writing of this book, and couldn't exert as much effort on it as he would have liked. Eventually, he secludes Wanda and the others to establish the Second Foundation in secret, which later turns out to be at the same Imperial Library of Trantor. Little does the young Outworld mathematician know that he has already sealed his fate and the fate of humanity. Asimov was prolific and wrote or edited more than 500 books and an estimated 90,000 letters and postcards.

Like the first Foundation prequel, Prelude to Foundation, I found this a bit of a bloated snoozefest and admit to liberal skimming and skipping. the man who holds the key to the future an apocalyptic power to be known forever after as the Foundation.

Occorre però fare una precisazione: il mio giudizio è assolutamente non obiettivo, essendo un amante dello spionaggio fantascientifico di Asimov e della sua affascinante teoria della colonizzazione spaziale. Primo perchè chiude il cerchio, tutto viene spiegato, tutti i personaggi vengono caratterizzati per una chiara comprensione della storia.

Ten years later, Seldon's involvement in galactic politics has pushed him away from his work on psychohistory, but he cannot abandon his position because his successor may cut off the funding for psychohistory. I find this very odd, it is as if Asimov never considered that mind control is actually very dangerous, and deprives people of free will. Me parece que si su obra de ciencia ficción es tan reconocida, no es por el manejo de las palabras, sino por el manejo de los conceptos. After Demerzel "proves" he's not a robot by laughing in public, he blackmails Joranum into accepting exile to the planet he claims to come from. From a grand master of science fiction comes the long awaited final novel of one of the greatest series ever told.

Ocho años después de los eventos de Preludio A La Fundación, Hari Seldon continúa desarrollando la psicohistoria, ciencia que ya está alcanzando un desarrollo tal, que comienza a tener usos prácticos y no solamente teóricos. It's really cool to see how everything came together and was almost lost to start the Foundation and the telepathic Second Foundation which Wanda started on Trantor. As Hari Seldon struggles to perfect his revolutionary theory of psychohistory and ensure a place for humanity among the stars, the great Galactic Empire totters on the brink of apocalyptic collapse.The story is broken down into four parts, each focusing on one of Seldon's allies being under duress mainly because of the psycho-history project. Forward the Foundation", Asimov's last novel (written just before his death, published just after), suffers from all the problems of "Prelude to Foundation" only magnified tenfold.

The one thing that kind of annoyed me was not that the 'good guys' used underhand methods to attain their goals, but that this was never ever anything but a very minor talking point. Once again, Hari Seldon is transmogrified into an action hero to save the crisis of the day in a prequel to the older and vastly superior Foundation novels.

The asteroid 5020 Asimov, a crater on the planet Mars, a Brooklyn elementary school, and a literary award are named in his honor. So here as we reach not the last of the '80s and '90s "bridging" novels that Asimov wrote at the end of his life to bring together his famous '50s trilogies "Robot," "Empire" and "Foundation," but indeed the very last book Asimov himself wrote from start to finish before dying in 1993, I thought it'd be worth taking a little time and really asking ourselves if these bridging novels were even worth the effort, given that they've turned out even just 40 years later to be such lackluster reading experiences (and spoiler alert, that was indeed the same case here, such a disappointing read that it almost is not even worth recapping). Completed just before his death, FORWARD THE FOUNDATION is a crowning achievement and stirring testament to the creative genius of Isaac Asimov.

At the beginning of Forward the Foundation Hari Seldon is 60-year-old, and the novel tells the story of the last ten years of his life, as he struggles to put the Foundation together. Zapleti su manje vise ocekivani ali na jako zanimljiv nacin vodi ka uspostavljanju Zaduzbine i onome sta nas ocekuje u centralnoj Asimovljevoj trilogiji. They are able to find a few other mentalics, enabling Seldon to set up a second guardian for the Seldon Plan. I think that Prelude should really be read prior to tackling this one, as it picks up the theme and situation shortly after Prelude ended and continues through the latter years of Hari Seldon's life as he strives to perfect the psychohistory concept and pave the way for the Second Foundation.
