Though the novel featured intense stories, there was a slight disconnection in the story as there was no specific conclusion for some characters. The last part tells the story of Hober Mallow, a master trader who becomes the mayor and transforms the goal of the Foundation. The fourth story showed how the Foundation negotiated a deal with the Kingdom of Askone. The third story showed how the Foundation scaled through the crises regarding the kingdom of Anacreon. By the end of the second story, the idea of scientism had sparked into reality. The second story showed how the now settled Foundation wiggled through the political struggle existing between it and its neighbors, the four kingdoms. The first part of the novel talked about the origin of psychohistory, a tool that predicts the future of massive Empires. Though each section got created separately, the fluid transition from one part to the next created a time transitioning effect where the reader experienced time flow as the story progressed. ‘Foundation’ is a novel that features five different stories across five different eras. Crafting the story after the Roman Empire, Isaac’s attention to politics and the delicate role Economics, religion, and science plays in receding empires made the novel exceptionally realistic. ‘Foundation’ features interesting dialogues that reflect the ideologies of Isaac Asimov. ![]() ![]() ![]() When Douglas and his handler, Poppy, are shot dead, the group must race MI6 and several vicious crooks to neutralize a number of killers and find the diamonds. ![]() ![]() When a group of teenagers steal Ibrahim's phone and then kick him in the head after he falls down, the group plots revenge, little knowing that the two problems may soon become one.
