Foundation Trilogy, by Isaac Asimov.
I think it's the first modern science fiction book I've read, I read 19th century ones like Verne and Frankenstein before though.
Wow! Funny to hear Asimov described as modern (unless you mean it in the sense of modern vs. classical vs. post-modern etc.). But -- I love those books and want to reread them someday.. Enjoy!
Yeah, I guess it's a bit weird to call a 70 year old or so modern haha. I was think in constrat with "classical science fiction", as in "classical physics" like Verne's books. That's sort of a "lost" genre I think, unless you consider Steampunk to be sort of a successor.
right on! ok that makes sense then 😅 anyway, enjoy... I wish I could read those again for the first time! the imagery of going to Trantor, and.. well I won't say much just in case (also I don't remember much, it's been a while!)
