Foundation by Isaac Asimov, 1951

Truly epic story capturing in exiting realism the speculated sociopolitical and economic crises in a distant future of an entirely populated galactic empire. The book is set over a vast space of time and the foundation covers 3 generations of characters. Asimov isn't the heavy weight in science fiction.

Their is a movie set to be directed by Michael Emmerich and i have fears that the holly wood cinema will not do the full content justice. I found this book impossible to put down, the copy i had was missing a few pages however I am buying the entire saga with a replacement on ebay.com and look forward to my next installment. the cover is by tim white and the art really capture my imagination! i refuse to buy any other publishing exempt for the the ones sporting this dated but awesome design.
