For twelve thousand years the Galactic Empire has ruled supreme. Now it is dying. But only Hari Seldon, creator of the revolutionary science of psychohistory, can see into the future -- to a dark age of ignorance, barbarism, and warfare that will last thirty thousand years. To preserve knowledge and save mankind, Seldon gathers the best minds in the Empire -- both scientists and scholars -- and brings them to a bleak planet at the edge of the Galaxy to serve as a beacon of hope for a future generations. He calls his sanctuary the Foundation.
But soon the fledgling Foundation finds itself at the mercy of corrupt warlords rising in the wake of the receding Empire. Mankind's last best hope is faced with an agonizing choice: submit to the barbarians and be overrun -- or fight them and be destroyed.
Isaac Asimov was a Russian-born, American author, a professor of biochemistry, and a highly successful writer, best known for his works of science fiction and for his popular science books.
Professor Asimov is generally considered one of the most prolific writers of all time, having written or edited more than 500 books and an estimated 90,000 letters and postcards. He has works published in nine of the ten major categories of the Dewey Decimal System (lacking only an entry in the 100s category of Philosophy).
Asimov is widely considered a master of the science-fiction genre and, along with Robert A. Heinlein and Arthur C. Clarke, was considered one of the "Big Three" science-fiction writers during his lifetime. Asimov's most famous work is the Foundation Series; his other major series are the Galactic Empire series and the Robot series, both of which he later tied into the same fictional universe as the Foundation Series to create a unified "future history" for his stories much like those pioneered by Robert A. Heinlein and previously produced by Cordwainer Smith and Poul Anderson. He penned numerous short stories, among them "Nightfall", which in 1964 was voted by the Science Fiction Writers of America the best short science fiction story of all time, a title many still honor. He also wrote mysteries and fantasy, as well as a great amount of nonfiction. Asimov wrote the Lucky Starr series of juvenile science-fiction novels using the pen name Paul French.
Most of Asimov's popularized science books explain scientific concepts in a historical way, going as far back as possible to a time when the science in question was at its simplest stage. He often provides nationalities, birth dates, and death dates for the scientists he mentions, as well as etymologies and pronunciation guides for technical terms. Examples include his Guide to Science, the three volume set Understanding Physics, and Asimov's Chronology of Science and Discovery.
Asimov was a long-time member and Vice President of Mensa International, albeit reluctantly; he described some members of that organization as "brain-proud and aggressive about their IQs" He took more joy in being president of the American Humanist Association. The asteroid 5020 Asimov, the magazine Asimov's Science Fiction, a Brooklyn, NY elementary school, and two different Isaac Asimov Awards are named in his honor.
第一次一口气读完一本英文小说,好累。
评分我总是觉得阿西莫夫的科普书要比他的科幻小说更好看...
评分一旦读起来了就很难放下,不愧是开一代先河的科幻作品。其实最好的科幻,都不着眼在科学,而是社会。
评分看完忘记标注了。看得很痛苦,在地铁上日复一日愚公移山一样地啃。不过好在是懵懂看完了。我不想找借口说这本书词汇太艰深,只想对自己说,加紧学外语吧亲。
评分Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.
早就知道阿西莫夫写的这套科幻小说开一代先河经典难撼,一直无缘。出了中文版后嫌贵耗了一个多月,还是没忍住出手了。原来担心翻译质量,看完了觉得还挺满意,除了对台湾式的译名和遣词用句略有不适外,其他也没什么可挑剔的了。 小说的内容绝对精彩,虽然成书时间早(第一篇发...
评分好吧,虽说亲爱的编辑妹子看见了或许会生气,甚至会拍桌子批评我——居然说这样的话,怎么看都不像正面的书评嘛——但我不得不承认,我并不能算是《基地》系列的疯狂拥趸,至少现在不能算是了。为什么?因为我对这套书的感情,已经从奉为圭臬,听不得半句坏话,变成了“啊,这...
评分 评分此书确实是最值得一读的科幻作品。 作为科幻书籍,要想历久弥新非常不容易。毕竟科技在发展,作品中描写的新科技也许已经成为现实甚至过时。至于庞大的星际战争与政治争霸,在其他类作品中屡见不鲜,甚至历史本身比描写更加精彩,更加不可思议。所以更显示出此书的不凡。 作品...
评分《基地》与Dune(《沙丘》)一样,是男性的书。这并不是因为它没有女主角;爱情故事不是一本小说好看的必要条件。说它男性,因为它专注于历史和政治的探讨,星球/世界/国家的发展历程,每一个关键步骤的产生因素,当事人的处理方式/政治手腕,以及结局的必然性。170年之内,基...
