Two people, namely Golan Trevize of the First and Stor Gendibal, of the Second, defy their superiors in firmly believing that both Foundations have not succeeded and an "alien" force is guiding the universe to it's own ends.and their ominous doom. But the very perfection with which both Foundations supposedly quelled their respective anatagonists leaves the Foundationers in a blanket of false security. This books picks up from the end of the famed Foundation Trilogy, namely, Second Foundation where the First Foundationers supposedly eliminated the "threat" of the Psychohistorians when the Psychohistorians had truly eliminated the threat of the First Foundationers. The story is slow, very little happens, and the ending, which Asimov is usually best at, is a real dud.ĭetailed plot synopsis reviews of Foundation's Edge This book is dumb on so many levels, the biggest of which is this: what kind of an ending is it to say that humanity will merge into a group consciousness with rats, birds, trees, and daisies? And why was Golan such a great chooser? After seeing his decision, he seemed like a lousy chooser to me. Golan's professor friend gets a robot girlfriend to have sex with as a consolation prize. At the end, he chooses for everyone to become one with the living planet Gaia, so we can lose our individuality and become psyhically linked to trees and plants. Why is Golan empowered to make such a decision? Because, we're told, he's a good chooser. A "living" planet named Gaia wants Golan to "choose" who should be in charge, the First Foundation or the Second Foundation.
He is sent off to locate the second foundation, if it still exists, but there are actually larger things at stake. It follows the story of Golan Trevize who is booted off the Foundation for claiming that the second foundation still exists. This was the first foundation book written after the long, 20 year gap after the original trilogy, and boy, is it bad.
