Ah, the timeless art of "pausing" a website: a masterclass in technical wizardry that demands the Herculean task of enabling #JavaScript and #cookies. 🎩✨ Are we sure #Asimov didn't predict this as the pinnacle of human achievement? 🙄🔮

José Bódalo hubiera sido un gran Hari Seldon en una versión de Estudio 1 de "Fundación", de Isaac #Asimov (una fantasía mía).

So had the cause to re-read #Asimov's Foundation .. and then recently watched the #Dune movies..

There are definate echos of Foundation in Dune's story .. think Mr Herbert may have doen a bit of derivation ... and/or Villeneuve borrowed quite a bit in the way of inspiration.

Ich habe mich auf Foundation von Isaac Asimov gefreut. Aber ich hab Ausschnitte von gesehen und das ist nicht meine Foundation. Ansehen ja, aber die Bücher sind meine Foundation.
