"The stars were as thick as weeds in an unkempt field, and for the first time Lathan Devers (😘) found the figures to the right of the decimal point of prime importance in calculating the cuts through hyper-regions." pg 67

Started Book Two: Foundation & Empire last evening.
Asimov was a pioneering author. The majority of his SF novels, this trilogy included, centered around emerging concepts derived from his research/pursuits in math, physics, & chemistry. These concepts form the crux of his SF; inspiring curiosity/creativity/imagination, provoking thought, and fostering critical thinking skills in his readers. No spoon feeding here!

"In short, gentlemen," he said, "the Government is of the opinion that it knows what it is doing." (⊙_◎)

Very pleased to have found an original 1961 hardcover edition of The Foundation Trilogy on ebay for $25usd in very good condition◝(ᵔᗜᵔ)◜.
Started a 50yrs-later re-read and can't put the book down!
Buddy Read with the dymanic group HORROR OR HEAVEN ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و ♡.
