Description
The fourth novel in Isaac Asimov’s classic science-fiction masterpiece, the Foundation series
THE EPIC SAGA THAT INSPIRED THE APPLE TV+ SERIES FOUNDATION
At last, the costly and bitter war between the two Foundations has come to an end. The scientists of the First Foundation have proved victorious, and now they return to Hari Seldon’s long established plan to build a new Empire on the ruins of the old. But rumors persist that the Second Foundation is not destroyed after all—and that its still-defiant survivors are preparing their revenge. Now two exiled citizens of the Foundation—a renegade Councilman and a doddering historian—set out in search of the mythical planet Earth . . . and proof that the Second Foundation still exists.
Meanwhile someone—or something—outside of both Foundations seems to be orchestrating events to suit its own ominous purpose. Soon representatives of both the First and Second Foundations will find themselves racing toward a mysterious world called Gaia and a final, shocking destiny at the very end of the universe.

Immersive
5By bert1262Isaak Asimov is the mastermind of modern sci-fi, although immersion means being surrounded by, his writing does that to the mind, translating the readers to the worlds created by his scientific imagination and knowledge, when I first read the Foundation series, more than forty years ago, I couldn’t stop reading his books, I start a relentless search of his books and the saga; his sprawling universe is the base of most of the sci-fi written or, the inspiration for so many sci-fi writers and sci-fi related arts, and surely would be an inspiration in the future; I'm pretty sure his journey through and beyond the stars it just started.
