Un impero grande come l'universo e contenente miliardi di mondi abitati; una forza politica, sociale e scientifica senza precedenti come la disciplina della psicostoria; l'enigma rappresentato dalle Fondazioni gemelle fondate da Hari Seldon per abbreviare il periodo d'interregno quando l'impero galattico fosse crollato... Sono questi, come ognuno sa, gli ingredienti fondamentali della vasta epopea futura che Asimov è venuto arricchendo negli anni, e che descrive il lontanissimo futuro dell'uomo con la stessa suspense di un thriller d'oggi. Ma con Fondazione e Terra il nostro pianeta entra di nuovo in gioco e sempre più chiare appaiono le mosse decisive di una partita che ha come posta le stelle.

A good read, and apart from the 3 laws for robots, I now realise there was also a 4th law: Zeroth Law is: ‘A robot may not injure humanity or, through inaction, allow humanity to come to harm.’ This automatically means that the First Law must be modified to be: ‘A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm, except where that would conflict with the Zeroth Law.’ And similar modifications must be made in the Second and Third Laws.” But this book also answered many questions and also revealed a plan that is older than Seldon’s Plan…
