And it continues with the stuff written after the original trilogy: Forward and Backward with the Foundation Can't say I disagree with it much, although I haven't read the Benford-Bear-Brin books. The Second Foundation always creeped me out, and Gaia even moreso.

Maybe I will if it's on Kindle... or at least give it a try.

It was one of the first serious science fiction novels I ever read and talk about feeling the proverbial sense of wonder. After growing up i realize what a house of cards that pseudo-Marxist psychohistory was built on, but they are impressive nonetheless. And, as that essay tells you, Asimov practically undermines his own psychohistory.
