## Review Date #note/sourcereview/book | #source/book📚/fiction ## What is the story - Using the science of the prediction of human behavior, Hari Seldon sets up two Foundations to take humanity through a period of downturn. - For generations to come, people try to change the course of history. - An unpredictable genetic mutation causes a human to be able to read and influence people's minds at a distance. "The Mule" dies young, but seems to disrupt the Seldon plan (Foundation and Empire) - The Second Foundation tries to stay hidden while it influences people's emotional state, thus influencing history. "What is the end of a circle?" ## What else do I wonder about? - Is free will an illusion? [[everything I do is something I get to do]] - Is belief a reality of myself or is it constructed by outside influences? [[Every belief will be outgrown, in time]] ## Source: [[Foundation 3-Book Bundle]] Asimov, I. (2004). _Foundation_. Bantam Books. Asimov, I. (1991). _Foundation and empire_. Bantam Books. Asimov, I.
