Foundation

This week I read Foundation (and the entire Foundation series) by Isaac Asimov. The Foundation series tells the story of the death of the Galactic Empire, and the creation of two Foundations to preserve culture and technology. The goal of the First Foundation is to, after a thousand years, establish a second Galactic Empire. The Second Foundation is hidden, and is made up of psychohistorians who are tasked with making sure the First Foundation stays on track to form a second Galactic Empire. The foundation stays reliable as the galaxy splinters into small kingdoms that quickly relapse into barbarism.
I really liked this series even though this is my second time reading it. The plot and characters are extremely complex, and even though the series was started in 1950, the future described in the books seems realistic. The plot is interesting, and kept me on my toes. This gets a 9.9/10
