A reread of a book I read as a teenager, 40 years ago. I was more impressed the first time. Now it feels very dated.

The cover of this edition featured a still from the TV series, with a female Salvor Hardin. There are almost no female characters in this book, and the men are two-dimensional. Futuristic tech is assumed to be atomic powered, everyone smokes tobacco and communication is largely written. All adding to the dated feel. Worth reading for completeness, but not for its own sake.
