 When I read the original Foundation trilogy, my impression was that though this might have been novel in the 1930s, it was not particularly so now in 2015. This present book continues the series in much the same tone and style. Little changed in the fifty intervening years between the first Foundation books and this one. That is good news, I suppose, for those who loved the originals. It is bad news for those that hoped the series would develop along with the times.
