A review by fulgheri
Second Foundation by Isaac Asimov
3.0
Despite the fact that all modern science fiction owes a lot to Asimov, the Foundation trilogy did not age well.
No women, technology is vague and distant at best, and in general everything seems hastily put together, definitely not well thought out and planned.
Considering that in 10 years we'd get Star Trek, this seems much closer to Verne's late XIX century proto-SciFi than to Roddenberry's modern fictional universe, with a Russian at the helm and an Afro-American woman on the bridge.
