Hadn't read this for decades. It stood up well to the pasing of time. Asimov is a good illustration of the importance of science and the humanities and books like this are evidence against the current denigration of the humanities in modern universities.

I thought I’d enjoy a full-length novel from Asimov more than his collections, and I was right. It was well-paced, it kept me intrigued, it felt like quintessential space opera in Asimov’s voice, and it had a solid conclusion that also invited another novel and mystery, almost reminiscent of Herbert’s. Trevize and Pelorat were delightful. And while this is called Foundation, it was really a connecting novel to Asmimov’s other works.
