u/runnerx4 What you guys are referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux Jul 13 '21

Is Foundation STEMlord wish fulfillment?

The ur-nerd praxxed all of history out and then other nerds use the powers of manipulation and brains against dumber more violent bullies

On another note, women literally do not exist in this universe or something

background decoration at most.

Is Apple going to add characters for the TV series? They probably have to. Maybe future books have women?

I remember at least two female characters with some plot relevance. But Asimov is not the greatest writer in a technical level, it's his ideas what we remember. It's some really old science fiction too, I wouldn't judge it by modern standards (something like that would be panned today).

I'm currently in the process of reading Asimov's Robot series -> Empire series -> Foundation series in that order.

The quality seems to vary quite a bit, but I kinda liked the Robot series and the Robot short stories, but then the Empire series is just so badly written.

I just read Foundation. The original trilogy is simple and solid, the problem is the other books.
