Foundation

Foundation pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載2025

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.

你會得到大驚喜!!

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.

讀後感

評分

这种类型的书,我以前是从来没接触过的。 银河,帝国,基地什么的,好像兴趣不大,虽说也是幻想,但似乎当然比不上哈里•波特陪着我一路的成长记忆。 开头十多页也是读得很不耐烦的,号称“人类历史上最好看的系列小说”,如果不给我带来最顶级的阅读享受,我当然就有理由不...

我只是想单纯的吐槽:这封面是什么玩意儿?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

如果你已经是阿西莫夫的粉丝了,这篇小文章不是为你写的,因为你已经知道了这位“神一样的作者”有多牛逼,对后世的影响有多巨大,不用我来多费唇舌。如果你已经读过了任何一本“基地”系列的小说,那这篇文章你也没有必要看了,因为你肯定早就知道了这“人类历史上最好看的系...  

評分

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。...
