‘‘Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent’‘
We’re used to reading novels or seeing movies where almost all the resolutions are based on the physical strength and the fighting superiority of the main characters, and sadly intelligence has very little to do with this kind of fictional worlds that invades all the genres available. But there’s a great exception to this rule, Asimov’s legendary novel saga of ‘’Foundation’’.
In Foundation, the future troubles that will disturb humanity had been long foreseen by the highly scientific mind of the mathematician Hari Seldom, who makes the preparations for a future society that will replace the decadent Empire.
Foundation is the history of that society, its inhabitants and the clever solutions found by the different leaders to the seemingly fated situations that menace their way of living.
Foundation is the maximum triumph of the intellect ever made in literature, where every person and every action is like the cog of a precise and sophisticated machine.
If you’re looking for a smart literature work that in spite of his nature is very easy to follow and understand, with exciting and relatable main characters; Foundation is the trilogy that you MUST read!
