I can't express quite well how I see Asimov nowadays. He's like a prophet or a visionary bounded by the unlimited grasp of his typewriter and some coffee for the long nights of writing.
I remember that I was 14 when I took from the bookshelf of my father "The foundation" and ever since I've been trying to see the world like a Historian mathematician like Hari Seldon and see if I can predict the future but maybe I'm not ready for the job yet. English it's not my mother language but i tried to translate every single word of the book during my free time between lunch breaks and family trips. I look forward to check that book you mentioned @MenO greetings!
