I got this book because it seemed like a cool edition of The Foundation Trilogy. I later discovered that it glows in the dark when I turned the lights off to go to sleep.

    Foundation is basically all concept. If you do want to get into it, there’s a dated but still entertaining (IMO) radio drama version the BBC did in the early 70s. You can hear it here.

      @FlyingSquid @tdawg I heard the radio adaptation of the Foundation Trilogy when it first went out but don’t remember being very impressed The 80 episode TV adaption that’s underway sounds hard to swallow. We now have the original 3 books, two sequels, two prequels and 3 authorised books written by other authors since Asimov’s death. To understand these later books you need to know at least something about Asimov’s robot novels.
