I have just re-read Foundation, and Foundation and Empire which have
certainly stood the test of time for me despite such minor matters as no
smart phones nor internet and plenty of cigarette smoking. My first read
was last century but I had remembered the basic premise and in book 2
recognised Magnifico immediately. I am looking forward to beginning
Second Foundation.
