The main aspect of this book are AI realisations of Joan of Arc and Voltaire and the ongoing thoughts and descriptions of what is intelligence and humanity. These concepts are interesting and possibly may be seen as a continuation of Asimov's treatment of robots. However, I couldn't see the theme as presented by Benford tying in with my view of the Asimov Foundation Universe. The explanation on how aliens had made themselves into some form of AI beings and infected the human "internet" was again an interesting idea but I felt it undermined the Foundations created by Asimov - being possibly "trumped" by these secret alien beings created by Benford. I found it a hard read and only recommended for the keen Foundation reader. It has put ne off reading the other 2 books of the trilogy authorised by the Asimov estate. Nos hallamos en los turbulentos días del final del Imperio Galáctico, cuando concluye el complejo establecimiento de la psicohistoria, la única ciencia capaz de predecir el comportamiento humano. Hari Seldon, primer ministro del Imperio, ordena utilizar dos antiguos simulacros para poner a prueba la psicohistoria. Al mismo tiempo, se gesta un enfrentamiento entre robots giskardianos –que intervienen en el destino de la humanidad– y calvinianos –que solo sirven a los seres humanos–. Esta situación lleva a Seldon a emprender una huida por varios mundos de la galaxia, en los que aprende lo suficiente para perfeccionar la psicohistoria. Pero los dos simulacros, que han escapado del control de los programadores, despiertan e irritan a antiguas entidades alienígenas refugiadas en un universo electrónico. Well, guess this trilogy too deep/profound for me or something -- not a good story. Too much philosophy and not enough story (or even a good job carrying the what-if theme of everything in Asimov's original vision). Take away name of title, places and characters and I would never have suspected this had anything to do with Foundation novels. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
Isaac Asimov's Foundation Trilogy is one of the high-water marks of science fiction. It is the monumental story of a Galactic Empire in decline, and the secret society of scientists who seek to shorten the inevitable Dark Age with the science of psychohistory. Now, with the permission -- and blessing -- of the Asimov estate, the epic saga continues. Fate -- and a cruel Emperor's arbitrary power -- have thrust Hari Seldon into the First Ministership of the Empire against his will. As the story opens, Hari is about to leave his quiet professorship and take on the all but impossible task of administering 25 million inhabited worlds from the all-steel planet of Trantor. With the help of his beautiful bio-engineered "wife" Dors and his alien companion Yugo, Seldon is still developing the science that will transform history, never dreaming that it will ultimately pit him against future history's most awesome threat.
