What people on Hacker News said
Asimov's two big universes, found in the Robots series and the Foundation series, (which turned out to be the same when he revisited them in the 70's and 80's) are simply wonderful.
By far my favorite sci-fi, and among the most enduring works in the genre.
Asimov’s Foundation and Robots series. Images and stories from those still pop into my head randomly decades later, and bits and pieces appear throughout pop culture.
Read the Robots series and then Foundations Edge and sequels.
