Isaac Asimov was a Russian-born, American author, a professor of biochemistry, and a highly successful writer, best known for his works of science fiction and for his popular science books.

Professor Asimov is generally considered one of the most prolific writers of all time, having written or edited more than 500 books and an estimated 90,000 letters and postcards. He has works published in nine of the ten major categories of the Dewey Decimal System (lacking only an entry in the 100s category of Philosophy).

Asimov is widely considered a master of the science-fiction genre and, along with Robert A. Heinlein and Arthur C. Clarke, was considered one of the "Big Three" science-fiction writers during his lifetime. Asimov's most famous work is the Foundation Series; his other major series are the Galactic Empire series and the Robot series, both of which he later tied into the same fictional universe as the Foundation Series to create a unified "future history" for his stories much like those pioneered by Robert A. Heinlein and previously produced by Cordwainer Smith and Poul Anderson. He penned numerous short stories, among them "Nightfall", which in 1964 was voted by the Science Fiction Writers of America the best short science fiction story of all time, a title many still honor. He also wrote mysteries and fantasy, as well as a great amount of nonfiction. Asimov wrote the Lucky Starr series of juvenile science-fiction novels using the pen name Paul French.

Most of Asimov's popularized science books explain scientific concepts in a historical way, going as far back as possible to a time when the science in question was at its simplest stage. He often provides nationalities, birth dates, and death dates for the scientists he mentions, as well as etymologies and pronunciation guides for technical terms. Examples include his Guide to Science, the three volume set Understanding Physics, and Asimov's Chronology of Science and Discovery.

Asimov was a long-time member and Vice President of Mensa International, albeit reluctantly; he described some members of that organization as "brain-proud and aggressive about their IQs" He took more joy in being president of the American Humanist Association. The asteroid 5020 Asimov, the magazine Asimov's Science Fiction, a Brooklyn, NY elementary school, and two different Isaac Asimov Awards are named in his honor.

For twelve thousand years the Galactic Empire has ruled supreme. Now it is dying. But only Hari Seldon, creator of the revolutionary science of psychohistory, can see into the future -- to a dark age of ignorance, barbarism, and warfare that will last thirty thousand years. To preserve knowledge and save mankind, Seldon gathers the best minds in the Empire -- both scientists and scholars -- and brings them to a bleak planet at the edge of the Galaxy to serve as a beacon of hope for a future generations. He calls his sanctuary the Foundation.

But soon the fledgling Foundation finds itself at the mercy of corrupt warlords rising in the wake of the receding Empire. Mankind's last best hope is faced with an agonizing choice: submit to the barbarians and be overrun -- or fight them and be destroyed.

读后感

评分

个人认为,本书是阿西莫夫基地系列中最好的一本。 势力均衡、宗教、资本主义——这哪里是科幻,分明就是作者对历史的重构。抛开谢顿计划的历史决定论的外衣,谢顿计划下的各个英雄人物仍然是以个人的自由意志,以局部优化的方法论,而非乌托邦的宏伟蓝图,推动着历史的发展。...

内容不说了,基地系列是阿西莫夫作品中最经典的作品之一,推荐是冲内容给的,但是这版翻译和排版没看,不知道如何。所以没有给力荐。 但是如果只看这版封面可以直接给负分。彻底雷了,和这四个人有毛关系?上面两个说明“银河帝国”下面两个强调“基地”么?脑残真是没治,重...

《基地》这本书实在是太宏大了。无论在宏观架构还是细节处理上都闪现着天才的火花。 心理史学很有创意。借用其中的理论来解释经济学较之物理学不够精确的原因很有意思。 作者在书中用科幻的视角将西方的历史重述了一遍,其中也可以看到西方经济史、思想史变迁的影子。

好吧,虽说亲爱的编辑妹子看见了或许会生气,甚至会拍桌子批评我——居然说这样的话,怎么看都不像正面的书评嘛——但我不得不承认,我并不能算是《基地》系列的疯狂拥趸,至少现在不能算是了。为什么?因为我对这套书的感情,已经从奉为圭臬,听不得半句坏话,变成了“啊,这...
