|
![]() | Robot Dreams (Remembering Tomorrow) by Isaac Asimov

![]() | Caves of Steel (Robot (Spectra Books)) by Isaac Asimov
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.48 The first of Asimov's robot novels, this book introduces us to Elijah Baley, the detective/hero of this and the next two books.
|
![]() | The Naked Sun by Isaac Asimov
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.14 Second of the robot novels and my personal favorite. Solaria, a planet where people are afraid to meet in person, has even more relevance today than when it was written because of the growth of the Internet.

![]() | Prelude to Foundation (Foundation Novels) by Isaac Asimov
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.01 The first prequel to the Foundation series explores how Harri Seldon got drawn into his research on psychohistory (sort of predicting the future, but not exactly) in the first place.
|
![]() | Forward the Foundation (Foundation Novels) by Isaac Asimov
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.01 The second prequel to the Foundation Series falls flat and is only recommendable to fans that have read the entire series and still want more even if the quality of writing is worse.

![]() | Foundation (Foundation Novels) by Isaac Asimov
Buy new: $10.08 / Used from: $7.07 Originally the first book in the Foundation Series, this book covers a few different eras on Foundation after Harri establishes his plan to create a nexus to store and safeguard the universe's knowledge.

![]() | Foundation and Empire (Foundation Novels) by Isaac Asimov
Buy new: $11.90 / Used from: $5.99 The second of the original trilogy of Foundation books gives further details on how the Foundation will survive in spite of the universe becoming more uncivilized around it.
|
![]() | Second Foundation (Foundation Novels) by Isaac Asimov
Buy new: $11.20 / Used from: $4.40 The third book in the original trilogy is hard to introduce without giving away to much that happens. Let's just say that a new wrinkle is introduced that threatens to upset Seldon's original plan for his Foundation of knowledge.
|
![]() | Foundation's Edge (Foundation Novels) by Isaac Asimov
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $1.77 Although it was written many years after the original trilogy, this book shows us just how strongly the Foundation is being safeguarded. The main character, Trevize, is also more well developed compared to characters in the previous books, probably because he is actually present throughout the book.
|
![]() | Foundation and Earth by Isaac Asimov
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $4.00 The last of the Foundation novels written by Asimov focuses on Trevize's search for the planet where humanity originated. I particularly liked how it tied in to the robot novels.
