I've heard of Asimov, but I don't think I've really read much of his stuff... Foundation series wise, I've never ever heard of it or anything resembling it until now.
I worry I will regret buying this... Perhaps I should do it in the summer when I can actually sit down and start blasting through this... It's in my cart, I just hesitate to pull the trigger.
Books can take ahold of me like no other thing. It's like an addiction because it allows me to let my mind go wild within a certain set of confines. I might actually not eat nor sleep unless absolutely necessary until I finish all 7 books in a single sitting. I try and stay away from them TBH, but I honestly really love a great book.
Although for economics, I'd argue it was to sustain data/information over long periods, but it doesn't convey it itself. But then again, you use economics to determine what is worth trying to sustain over many generations if resources are finite to sustain/protect all information. Like the other half of a coin, or the impossibility of a one sided tree branch.
Thanks for the suggestion though. I'm very tempted to grab the series.
