@Meron35 @automaticdoor75 There is a lot of post apocalyptic and distopian science fiction about. I've read 'On the Beach' and seen the film with the dramatic scenes of a deserted San Francisco

@auschwitzmuseum I have just been reading Anne Frank's (full version). It's easy to overlook Margot other members of the family. Young lives tragically cut short.

@nikt @norbert I agree Foundation and its associates are not very well written. But the sequel Foundation's Edge (1982) is brilliant. He's a whole different writer. From the same period there are The Robots of Dawn (1983) and Robots and Empire (1985). I especially like the almost philosophical discussion, in Robots and Empire, between two robots about the meaning of Asimov's great invention, the laws of robotics.
