I Prelude to Foundation read all the Foundation books in the order they were published and that is my personal preference. I never saw a problem with reading them this way and there is no specific reason for reading then in timeline order. The original trilogy was written in the early 50's and then there was a gap until the early 80's. Fortunately Asimov's writing style and Prelude to Foundation of reference to specific technology Prelude to Foundation make the first trilogy seem dated. But if you prefer your stories to be chronological instead of "flashing" back then you may want to read them in the order of the storyline which would be: Prelude to Foundation Prelude to Foundation Foundation Second Foundation Foundation's Edge Foundation and Earth This is from a word document I have that is suppose to be Asimov's suggested order. It's out on the web somewhere Prelude to Foundation I don't remember where. He also recommends reading the Robot stories and novels first and then the Galactic Empire novels because there are some tie-ins, especially with the Robot novels near the end of the . Here is the list with the other two series included: The Complete Robot Collection of 31 Short Stories about robots. The Caves of Steel His first Robot novel. The Naked Sun The second Robot novel. The Robots of Dawn The third Robot novel. The third and final Empire novel. Prelude to Foundation The Prelude to Foundation Foundation novel. Forward the Foundation The second Foundation novel. Foundation The third Foundation novel, comprised of 5 stories originally published between Foundation and Empire The fourth Foundation novel, comprised of 2 stories originally published in Second Foundation The fifth Foundation novel, comprised of 2 stories originally published in and Foundation's Edge The sixth Foundation novel. Foundation and Earth The seventh Foundation novel. As I said my personal preference is to read them in the order they were published and I included those dates if you want to do it that way less.

This rings especially true for his Robot and Foundation series. Yes… yes…before you say it, I'll acknowledge your gripes about Asimov and even concede to some of them. Asimov wasn't as skilled a wordsmith as, say, Jack Vance, but, in fairness, how many people were. Clarke, and rarely, if ever, used his writing to address important social issues as the likes of Heinlein, Silverberg and Ellison Prelude to Foundation. Fine…granted…and SO what? Asimov tales are just rousing good yarns told with an infectious; Star Trek optimism that fills you up with the belief that humanity is destined for bigger, brighter and better things. His stories are warm, cozy, familiar and fun. Therefore, as this is my own biased, subjective Prelude to Foundation, I shall give a hall pass to the grandmaster regarding his tendency towards clunky dialogue, his often unornamented, transparent characters and his occasional deus ex machina plot conveniences. They exist and this acknowledgement is as Prelude to Foundation to criticism of these stories as I intend to come. Prelude to Foundation, these stories will always hold a special place for me and I don't believe I'll ever discontinue Prelude to Foundation view them fondly. And with good reason, I think. Asimov was a master at the big idea. He was an artist who painted stories on a ginormous canvas, depicting mega events and larger Prelude to Foundation life characters. The mind-bogglingly large, galaxy spanning Prelude to Foundation he created for the Foundation series was the Prelude to Foundation for all of the vast galactic civilizations that came after. He thought big, he wrote big, he entertained big. I did have one fanboy gripe about this installment and it stems from my frustrated desire to learn, finally, from Asimov the nuts and bolts of psych-historical analysis. Logically, I grant that any such explanation had no Prelude to Foundation of meeting my expectations and that Asimov, being as astute as he was, correctly decided not to provide revelations about the inner workings of the science. By maintaining the mystery, he avoided any taint upon the majesty of the idea. Still, I was a tad bummed by the lack in this area. Oh well, I enjoyed myself and I loved that the story filled in gaps in both the Foundation series and the Robot novels. Worth a read, it will make you smile. Highly Recommended. View all 30 comments. It is one of two prequels to the Foundation series. For the first time, Asimov chronicles the fictional life of , the man who invented psychohistory and the intellectual hero of the series. Unless you're just a die-hard Foundation fan and have to read them all, Prelude to Foundation to Foundation" can safely be skipped. In particular, I'm not sure Prelude to Foundation I would recommend reading it prior to the other Foundation novels despite the fact that it's a prequel. It's not spoiling anything to briefly explain why this is. In "Foundation," which is really more a shorts collection than a novel despite the fact that the stories do Prelude to Foundation very well together, Hari Seldon is already an old man. The whole premise Unless you're just a die-hard Foundation fan and have to read them all, "Prelude to Foundation" can Prelude to Foundation be skipped. The whole premise is based upon his having mathematically predicted the Prelude to Foundation using a technique Prelude to Foundation his own devising called psychohistory. He is, from page one, a legend. Prelude to Foundation attempts to chronicle Hari's invention of psychohistory as a young man. The story flows much like the plot of a B action movie, right down to Hari having some small martial arts skills. The young, hasty, Hari is a far less compelling hero than the iconic genius who has mathematically determined how to shorten ten thousand years of barbarism to just one thousand. Of course, Asimov is a good enough storyteller that it all hangs together decently. But there's a lot of books out there to be had, and plenty of other choices even just in the Asimov shelf that are better. Prelude to Foundation all 5 comments.
