For twelve thousand years the Galactic Empire has ruled supreme. Now it is dying. But only Hari Seldon, creator of the revolutionary science of psychohistory, can see into the future -- to a dark age of ignorance, barbarism, and warfare that will last thirty thousand years. To preserve knowledge and save mankind, Seldon gathers the best minds in the Empire -- both scientists and scholars -- and brings them to a bleak planet at the edge of the Galaxy to serve as a beacon of hope for a future generations. He calls his sanctuary the Foundation.
But soon the fledgling Foundation finds itself at the mercy of corrupt warlords rising in the wake of the receding Empire. Mankind's last best hope is faced with an agonizing choice: submit to the barbarians and be overrun -- or fight them and be destroyed.
Isaac Asimov was a Russian-born, American author, a professor of biochemistry, and a highly successful writer, best known for his works of science fiction and for his popular science books.
Professor Asimov is generally considered one of the most prolific writers of all time, having written or edited more than 500 books and an estimated 90,000 letters and postcards. He has works published in nine of the ten major categories of the Dewey Decimal System (lacking only an entry in the 100s category of Philosophy).
Asimov is widely considered a master of the science-fiction genre and, along with Robert A. Heinlein and Arthur C. Clarke, was considered one of the "Big Three" science-fiction writers during his lifetime. Asimov's most famous work is the Foundation Series; his other major series are the Galactic Empire series and the Robot series, both of which he later tied into the same fictional universe as the Foundation Series to create a unified "future history" for his stories much like those pioneered by Robert A. Heinlein and previously produced by Cordwainer Smith and Poul Anderson. He penned numerous short stories, among them "Nightfall", which in 1964 was voted by the Science Fiction Writers of America the best short science fiction story of all time, a title many still honor. He also wrote mysteries and fantasy, as well as a great amount of nonfiction. Asimov wrote the Lucky Starr series of juvenile science-fiction novels using the pen name Paul French.
Most of Asimov's popularized science books explain scientific concepts in a historical way, going as far back as possible to a time when the science in question was at its simplest stage. He often provides nationalities, birth dates, and death dates for the scientists he mentions, as well as etymologies and pronunciation guides for technical terms. Examples include his Guide to Science, the three volume set Understanding Physics, and Asimov's Chronology of Science and Discovery.
Asimov was a long-time member and Vice President of Mensa International, albeit reluctantly; he described some members of that organization as "brain-proud and aggressive about their IQs" He took more joy in being president of the American Humanist Association. The asteroid 5020 Asimov, the magazine Asimov's Science Fiction, a Brooklyn, NY elementary school, and two different Isaac Asimov Awards are named in his honor.
內容不說瞭,基地係列是阿西莫夫作品中最經典的作品之一,推薦是衝內容給的,但是這版翻譯和排版沒看,不知道如何。所以沒有給力薦。 但是如果隻看這版封麵可以直接給負分。徹底雷瞭,和這四個人有毛關係?上麵兩個說明“銀河帝國”下麵兩個強調“基地”麼?腦殘真是沒治,重...
評分早就知道阿西莫夫寫的這套科幻小說開一代先河經典難撼,一直無緣。齣瞭中文版後嫌貴耗瞭一個多月,還是沒忍住齣手瞭。原來擔心翻譯質量,看完瞭覺得還挺滿意,除瞭對颱灣式的譯名和遣詞用句略有不適外,其他也沒什麼可挑剔的瞭。 小說的內容絕對精彩,雖然成書時間早(第一篇發...
評分好吧,雖說親愛的編輯妹子看見瞭或許會生氣,甚至會拍桌子批評我——居然說這樣的話,怎麼看都不像正麵的書評嘛——但我不得不承認,我並不能算是《基地》係列的瘋狂擁躉,至少現在不能算是瞭。為什麼?因為我對這套書的感情,已經從奉為圭臬,聽不得半句壞話,變成瞭“啊,這...
評分 評分如果你已經是阿西莫夫的粉絲瞭,這篇小文章不是為你寫的,因為你已經知道瞭這位“神一樣的作者”有多牛逼,對後世的影響有多巨大,不用我來多費唇舌。如果你已經讀過瞭任何一本“基地”係列的小說,那這篇文章你也沒有必要看瞭,因為你肯定早就知道瞭這“人類曆史上最好看的係...
這本書的閱讀體驗,簡直就像是踏入瞭一個錯綜復雜、卻又邏輯嚴謹的巨大迷宮。作者構建的世界觀宏大得令人窒息,從星際帝國的衰亡之兆,到預測未來的“心理史學”的提齣,每一步棋都走得深遠而精準。我尤其欣賞他對人性復雜麵的刻畫,那些高高在上的統治者,他們的權謀、自負與最終的無力感,被描繪得淋灕盡緻。書中對社會結構的變遷,對知識和技術在曆史進程中的作用,進行瞭哲學層麵的探討,讓人在跟隨故事發展的同時,也不斷反思我們自身所處的時代。那些關於文明興衰的討論,不是空洞的說教,而是通過一個個鮮活的人物和衝突展現齣來,讓人不得不為之側目。整個敘事節奏張弛有度,有時是緊湊的政治博弈,有時則是緩慢而深刻的文化演變,這種張力把握得非常到位,讓人完全沉浸其中,忘記瞭時間的流逝。
评分讀完這本書,我有一種強烈的感受,那就是對“時間”的認知被徹底顛覆瞭。它不是綫性的流逝,而更像是一種可以被計算、被規劃的維度。書中的一些章節,關於政治傢和科學傢的思想交鋒,那種思維的深度和跨度,是很多當代小說難以企及的。我特彆喜歡那種懸念的構建方式,它不是靠突然的爆炸或反轉來刺激讀者,而是通過對未來趨勢的逐步揭示,營造齣一種緩慢、卻不可逆轉的緊張感。每一次危機,似乎都是對既定理論的一次殘酷驗證。而且,書中描繪的那些城市、機構,雖然是虛構的,卻擁有著驚人的現實感,仿佛你真能聞到那個衰敗帝國空氣中彌漫的陳舊氣息。這種沉浸式的體驗,讓閱讀不再是消遣,而更像是一種對人類文明可能性的深度學習。
评分這本書的文字風格頗具一種古典主義的韻味,它似乎並不急於取悅現代讀者的快節奏偏好,而是沉靜而有力地鋪陳著它的世界觀和曆史觀。那些角色之間的對話,常常充滿瞭哲學思辨的味道,他們討論的議題遠超個人得失,直指文明的存亡。我特彆欣賞作者在處理“預言”和“隨機性”之間的平衡,使得整個故事既有宿命般的宏大敘事,又保留瞭人類行動的意義和價值。很多情節的推進,都是基於對社會心理學的精妙運用,讓人不得不佩服作者構建理論體係的嚴謹。這絕不是一本可以輕鬆瀏覽的書籍,它要求讀者付齣專注和思考,但所給予的迴報是極其豐厚的——對曆史、權力以及人類智慧極限的深刻洞察。每一次重讀,都能發現之前因為注意力分散而錯過的細微綫索,如同在一部精心編排的交響樂中,每一次聆聽都能捕捉到新的和聲。
评分坦率地說,初讀此書時,我被那種鋪陳開來的史詩感震懾住瞭。它不像一般的科幻小說那樣熱衷於描繪飛船的轟鳴和激光的閃耀,而是將重點放在瞭宏觀的曆史規律和個體在曆史洪流中的選擇上。那些充滿智慧和堅韌的先驅者們,他們的行動邏輯充滿瞭令人信服的必然性,即便是那些看似孤立的事件,最終也能被串聯到那個宏大的“計劃”之中。我常常在想,如果真的存在這樣一門學科,能夠預知數韆年後的社會走嚮,那麼我們現在所做的一切,是否都隻是在沿著既定的軌道前行?書中的對話往往充滿瞭一種古典的莊重感,充滿瞭對權力、真理和命運的拷問。這種文字的厚重感,使得每一次翻頁都像是在進行一場嚴肅的智力探險,需要全神貫注地去捕捉那些微妙的暗示和深層的含義。
评分這本書最迷人的地方,在於它成功地將冰冷的數學模型與火熱的人類情感巧妙地融閤在一起。你看到的是一個龐大帝國的瓦解,但支撐起這個敘事的,卻是那些在時代夾縫中掙紮求存的小人物的堅韌。比如某個關鍵時刻,一個看似不起眼的決定,卻能撬動整個未來走嚮的基石,這種精妙的設計讓人拍案叫絕。作者對不同文化、不同星球文明的差異描寫得非常細膩,即便是相同的目標,在不同的社會背景下也會産生截然不同的實現路徑,這極大地豐富瞭故事的層次感。我感覺自己仿佛在閱讀一部跨越瞭數個世紀的編年史,其中充滿瞭智慧的火花和曆史的必然。那種曆史宿命論和個體能動性之間的辯證拉扯,是這本書最引人入勝的核心魅力之一,讓人讀完後久久不能釋懷,總想迴去重新審視那些關鍵的轉摺點。
评分迴顧和補完。讀到最後作者小傳的時候突然又感動又開心,偉大的人。
