I don’t really know how to score this book.
I have problems with the original trilogy that I don’t have with this book. But I also have problems with this fourth book in the series that Indidn’t have with the originals.
One thing is that the characters are still very flat. The women even more so than the men. I would almost say that i had rather read a book without female characters, then badly written and developed ones.
Again there is not much world building and not much in the way of Big Ideas either. Where the other books atleast had Psychohistory and the Seldon Plan as the Big Ideas, this book abandones those as ideas completely. Instead we get a Single mind-Single organisme idea. Which isn’t really worked out and not realy Science fiction either (more speculative fiction I’d say). And we get Robots.

Overall an underwhelming experience even considering my ideas about the other books in the series.
