[QUOTE="Feicarsinn, post: 664686, member: 22777"] There are the ones he wrote in the 80's that sort of try to conclude the series, but I didn't particularly like them. He tries to kind of force his Robot stories together into the same universe, and for me it didn't really work. I want to read the prequels though, they look pretty good. Yeah, psychohistory is a pretty cool idea. I think I read Foundation when I was doing a statistical mechanics course, which is mainly concerned with deriving the bulk behavior of groups of atoms/molecules (thermodynamics essentially) from individual atomic behavior and QM, so it was a really nice parallel. Asimov makes some pretty weird predictions. He predicts a lot of stuff will come from "atomics," but that's pretty common of sci fi writers in the 50's. Fun fact, he was the guy who coined the word "robotics." [/QUOTE]
