Asimov for @adxmanial !

Ralph McQuarrie for Isaac Asimov’s Robot Dreams (1986)

Isaac Asimov: the first five books of my Foundation series tell how one mathematician became a legend by predicting social forces at interplanetary scales.

Also Asimov: the 6th book will be a prequel about him being dunked on for months straight for not knowing liberal arts like at all. He gets owned so badly by experts in other fields that he repeatedly nearly dies. I’ll open each chapter with an excerpt from an encyclopedia written ten thousand years later that makes this period of Seldon’s life sound historically important and mysterious, but then the actual story is about how this moron doesn’t know the word “religious” or how to use an oven or clock. The novel will stress out the same types of readers who are bothered by It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia because if Craig Mazin, Charlie Day, and Megan Ganz wrote an episode called “Dennis invents Psychohistory” that work would be functionally identical to this novel to all but the shrewdest of branch managers of a regional paper company. While this novel is a prequel, it will advance readers’ understanding of the Foundation setting as ineffective Trantorian leaders trip over themselves trying to capture Seldon, while he continuously fails upward like Bill Murray in the film The Man Who Knew too Little so preposterously and frequently that it will become inescapably thematically clear that his Foundation can only inevitably do the same. I expect this will be a great comfort to readers.

Me: huh, that was a choice.

Had to draw some reqs for PGRtwt! I’m more active there, I’m afraid. 😞

hope people realize that it’s impossible to be normal about foundation. you’ve got soaking wet buff lee pace, a man who has two holograms each with their own custom mental trauma, a 20,000 year old genderfluid robot with impeccable taste AND trauma, a daughter who’s older than her mother, and three men who are the same man ruling an empire, one of which btw is lee pace. and he is naked. watch this show.

If you’re born in a cubicle and grow up in a corridor, and work in a cell, and vacation in a crowded sun-room, then coming up into the open with nothing but sky over you might just give you a nervous breakdown.

The Foundation fandom is actually so real because there’s not a single character who everyone likes. I swear there are people who love Hari, people who loathe Hari, people who love Demerzel, people who think Demerzel is deranged and evil, people who love the Cleons, people who love only one Cleon, people who hate the Cleons regardless of how hot Lee Pace is, people who love Salvor, people who hate Salvor, people who love Gaal, people who hate Gaal, people who want Ignis to win because Tellem is hot, people who want everyone in the Empire to rot, and of course people who realistically crave every major character carnally and are completely blind to the horrors who are totally valid
