Foundation (Foundation Series #1)

Foundation (Foundation Series #1) - Isaac Asimov The Foundation was created by Seldon because he predicted a decline of the Empire which will bring back the dark ages. Seldon's intention is to shorten this period of the dark age to 1,000 years only. It was an interesting idea and made quite an interesting read. The book itself was divided into 5 parts and spanned over 100 years, therefore each part of the book are generations away from the other. This is the disappointing bit as I didn't get to know any characters well to be attached to any of them and hence, whilst the ideas for each part on how to approach the crises and avert furthering the dark ages are interesting, I found the book less than riveting as characters changes as much as I change clothes. Unfortunately, as I don't believe any characters will be repeated in the sequel, I won't be picking that up.
