The Verge:
Isaac Asimov’s Foundation novels are a cornerstone of science fiction, but getting into a vast series about, among other things, mathematically predicting the rise and fall of entire civilizations isn’t always easy. In 1973, however, the BBC adapted Foundation into a serial radio drama, capturing the original trilogy in eight hour-long episodes. These are available on the Internet Archive, which means that you can listen to them online or download them in all their slightly scratchy glory.
I first read The Foundation Trilogy as a young teenager and loved them. I come back to re-read them about every decade. I’ve been thinking it’s about time to read them again but maybe I’ll just let the folks at the BBC entertain me this time.
The character of the Mule is in no way affiliated with Mike Monteiro or Mule Design. Take only as directed. Stunt driver on closed course. Your mileage may vary.
Between Asimov’s Foundation trilogy and Herbert’s Dune trilogy, I can never choose which one is better. And that is true competition. 🙂
