  • I recently read the first Foundation novel as well as most of the second. Asimov was clearly not envisioning a more egalitarian future when he wrote about housewives destabilizing society when their appliances break and they can’t get them fixed or replaced.

    I honestly lost a lot of interest in continuing the series just because of that, but I also couldn’t get attached to any of the characters since it zips around in history so quickly. I get that civilization itself is supposed to be a “character” of sorts, but that just doesn’t appeal to me.

    I did like the first season of the show, however.
