Psychohistory used on DS9...
A nod to the greatness of this book, on a recent
episode of Deep Space Nine, a group of genetically altered humans got together
and used mathematical formulas to predict the outcome of the Dominion War.
They went as far to go ahead thousands of years to predict the rise of
a new Federation that would "rule the Alpha quadrant for thousands of years."
After just finishing the book, it finally hit me where they got that from.
If only they would have given credit...

Greatness and Influence...
I just finished it today, and must say I wasn't
dissapointed. The movement in time for each section is very effective and
interesting in moving the story. I found that at each part, the radical,
the person immediately disliked, turns out to be the savior of the Foundation
during that crisis. I've been exposed to a lot of Science Fiction and while
reading this book, I saw pieces of almost all of them in here. The Galactic
Empire of StarWars originated here, the personal shields and the control
of the spice guilds from Dune, to name a few. I must say, in my humble
opinion, Foundation deserves the high placing as one of Science Fiction's
greatest works.

A very well writen, exciting book about a
possible future of
This book, the first in a series, is all about
the origination of the Foundation, an orginization based on the idea to
shorten the period of decay of the galactic Empire. Everyone who likes
Prelude to Foundation MUST read this.
