    I'm back to re-reading the Foundation series. It's been
    years, apparently one of the media streaming channels is
    doing a series about it.

    The tv series looks interesting. It's probably something I would
    watch, and THEN dig through the books to get the "full" story.

    I read Foundation many many years ago. I still think about it frequently. It's only of those series that just "stuck with me." It covers such a vast amount of time and space, and is so detailed.... its a very rich set of books. I highly recommend. If I recall correctly they also lead very perfectly into
    Asimov's Robot series.

    I'm very exicited about the AppleTV+ series which should be coming out soon.

    I have the books in paperback, I should dig them out.

    No, no, no!

    Always better to read the books first!

    I think it's the other way around - the I, Robot series lead into Foundation. https://asimov.fandom.com/wiki/Asimov_Timeline
