Paul Krugman on Isaac Asimov's Foundation Trilogy. I've bitched about the Foundation books in the past, here and elsewhere- the characters are cardboard cutouts, and the plot is all deus ex machina, but I have to admit that there's nothing quite like them when I'm down with the flu or something. I guess I like them more than I let on, and of course Krugman makes a good case. It's made-up social science, but it is still social science, and that will always have an appeal for me.// posted by Bill @ 11:14 AM
