We feature the sci-fi classic Foundation by Isaac Asimov. No spoiler section as we go through each short story with a quick overview and then a question or two about them. We also draw some connections between the Galactic Empire of Foundation to the world in the 1940's when Asimov wrote this as well as to the world we live in today. We also talk about how sci-fi can be used to shine a light on todays culture, even if it was written 80 years ago! We also get a fired up Taja at one point so keep an ear out for that! Enjoy!
