And now we settle in for the second part of the Good Doctor's second novel! Join us as we dust The Stars, Like Dust— with commentary like powdered sugar on a doughnut! Let's chat about chapters nine through fourteen! "The Podcast Was Located in a Little Niche Just Outside the Cabin" If this novel had been feeling a little non-Asenion for your tastes, this installment might be for you! If you love Golan Treveze or the version of Hari Seldon who inhabits the Foundation Prequels, you'll like Biron Ferrill better as this installment goes forward! If you think that there is a bit too much buckling and swashing in the first section, there is a bit of action where Biron overpowers a guard, tying him up with a pair of pantyhose. But once Gil and Artemisia help steal a space ship things settle down to storytelling and discussing galactic goings on as opposed to any actual going or actually doing anything story-inspiring. Plus, it's something that passes for a plot twist! So, let's go! Help us bust the stars like dust with the vacuum of space!

Znamenita vesoljska saga, v kateri človeštvo naseljuje celotno galaksijo, a galaktičnemu cesarstvu grozi neizbežni propad.Isaac Asimov je eno velikih imen znanstvene fantastike 20. stoletja. Njegov vpliv na zamišljanje možnih prihodnosti lahko občutimo še danes. Izjemno priljubljene in vplivne so bile njegove zgodbe o robotih, v katerih je vzpostavil svoje znamenite tri zakone robotike. Drugi daljnosežni vpliv pisanja Isaaca Asimova pa predstavljajo Temelji, prva vesoljska saga, v kateri je dogajanje v celoti prestavljeno v vesolje, s čimer je Asimov utemeljil tudi žanr t. i. vesoljske opere. Galaktično cesarstvo je sicer na videz na vrhuncu moči in sijaja, a napoveduje se mu neizbežni propad. Največji matematik galaksije Hari Seldon in utemeljitelj nove vede – psihozgodovine, izračuna, da propada ni mogoče preprečiti, možno je edino skrajšati obdobje vojn, ki bo sledilo. Da bi ta načrt uresničevali, Seldon ustanovi Temelje, zametek nove civilizacije na same robu galaksije. Kako se spopadajo s to nikakor ne lahko nalogo, sledimo v trilogiji Temelji skozi 400 let napete medplanetarne politike.Temelji, ki jih je prevedel Igor Harb, so izšli pri Cankarjevi založbi.

Seguimos con Fundación e Imperio. Bel Riose ha decidido ya atacar a la Fundación. Durante meses se ha infiltrado en sus mundos y descubierto sus planes para un Segundo Imperio, oído hablar de Hari Seldon y la Psicohistoria. Por otro lado, los Comerciantes de la Fundación también han sabido de él y han resuelto enviar un espía al imperio. En estos dos nuevos capítulos estallará la guerra...

Isaac Asimov es una de las personas más admiradas en la literatura de ciencia ficción. Como curiosidad, nadie registró su nacimiento, así que fue él mismo quien lo determinó. Creador del universo de Yo, robot y de la serie de Fundación, este científico y novelista fue uno de los autores más prolíficos del siglo XX y uno de los padres de lo que se ha llamado cultura popular. He aquí una breve biografía. Isaac Asimov fue uno de los escritores más influyentes y prolíficos de la ciencia ficción del siglo XX. Sus obras abarcan desde la novela al relato corto, pasando por la divulgación científica y la historia. Entre sus aportaciones más destacadas se encuentran las tres leyes de la robótica, que regulan el comportamiento de los robots en sus historias, y la saga de la Fundación, que narra la caída y el renacimiento de un imperio galáctico. A continuación, se presenta un artículo sobre su vida y su obra, basado en las principales fuentes que lo mencionan. Biografía Isaac Asimov nació el 2 de enero de 1920 en Petróvichi, una pequeña aldea de la antigua Unión Soviética, cerca de la frontera con Bielorrusia. Su fecha de nacimiento es incierta, ya que no hay registros oficiales y su familia no lo celebraba. Él mismo adoptó el 2 de enero como su cumpleaños, aunque algunos biógrafos sugieren que pudo haber nacido en octubre de 1919. Era hijo de Judah Asimov y Anna Rachel Berman, una pareja de judíos que regentaban un molino de grano. Cuando tenía tres años, su familia emigró a Estados Unidos, donde se establecieron en el barrio de Brooklyn, en Nueva York. Allí su padre abrió varias tiendas de golosinas, periódicos y revistas, donde el joven Isaac descubrió su pasión por la lectura y la escritura. Asimov aprendió a leer por sí mismo a los cinco años y pronto se aficionó a la ciencia ficción, un género que empezaba a florecer en las revistas pulp de la época. A los once años escribió su primer relato, que nunca llegó a publicar, y a los dieciocho vendió su primera obra profesional: Marooned off Vesta, que apareció en la revista Amazing Stories en 1939. Ese mismo año se graduó en bioquímica por la Universidad de Columbia, donde también obtuvo un máster en 1941 y un doctorado en 1948. Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial sirvió brevemente como químico en la Armada de Estados Unidos, donde conoció a Gertrude Blugerman, con quien se casó en 1942 y tuvo dos hijos: David (1951) y Robyn (1955). En 1949 se incorporó como profesor asociado a la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad de Boston, donde permaneció hasta 1958, cuando decidió dedicarse por completo a la escritura. Asimov fue un autor extremadamente prolífico, que escribió o editó más de 500 libros y unos 9000 artículos, cartas y ensayos. Su producción abarcó casi todos los campos del conocimiento, desde la ciencia ficción hasta la divulgación científica, pasando por la historia, la literatura, la religión, la filosofía, el humor y la autobiografía. Fue un gran divulgador de la ciencia, que explicaba los conceptos científicos de forma clara y amena, siguiendo una línea histórica y etimológica. También fue un defensor del racionalismo, el humanismo y el ateísmo, y un miembro activo de organizaciones como Mensa, la Asociación Humanista Estadounidense y el Comité para la Investigación Escéptica. En 1981 se le otorgó el título de Gran Maestro de la Ciencia Ficción por la Asociación de Escritores de Ciencia Ficción y Fantasía de Estados Unidos, y en 1984 recibió la Medalla Nacional de las Artes por el presidente Ronald Reagan. Asimov murió el 6 de abril de 1992 en Nueva York, a causa de una insuficiencia cardíaca y renal provocada por el sida, que contrajo por una transfusión de sangre contaminada durante una operación de bypass en 1983. Obra La obra de Isaac Asimov se caracteriza por su amplitud, su rigor y su imaginación. Su principal contribución a la ciencia ficción fue la creación de las tres leyes de la robótica, que establecen los principios éticos que deben regir el comportamiento de los robots en sus historias. Las tres leyes son las siguientes: * Un robot no debe dañar a un ser humano o, por inacción, permitir que un ser humano sufra daño. * Un robot debe obedecer las órdenes dadas por los seres humanos, excepto si estas órdenes entran en conflicto con la primera ley. * Un robot debe proteger su propia existencia, siempre que esta protección no entre en conflicto con la primera o la segunda ley. Estas leyes aparecieron por primera vez en el relato Runaround, publicado en 1942, y fueron el eje de la serie de los robots, que comprende una colección de cuentos titulada Yo, robot (1950) y cuatro novelas: Las bóvedas de acero (1954), El sol desnudo (1957), Los robots del amanecer (1983) y Robots e imperio (1985). En estas obras, Asimov explora las implicaciones lógicas, morales y sociales de las tres leyes, así como las relaciones entre los robots y los humanos. Algunos de sus personajes más famosos son el robot R. Daneel Olivaw, que posee una apariencia humana y una gran inteligencia, y el detective Elijah Baley, que resuelve crímenes con la ayuda de Olivaw en mundos donde los robots son odiados o temidos. Otra de las grandes aportaciones de Asimov a la ciencia ficción fue la saga de la Fundación, que narra la caída y el renacimiento de un imperio galáctico a lo largo de miles de años. La saga se basa en la idea de la psicohistoria, una ciencia ficticia que permite predecir el comportamiento de grandes masas de seres humanos mediante el uso de la estadística, la historia y la psicología. El protagonista de la saga es Hari Seldon, el creador de la psicohistoria, que prevé la decadencia del imperio y establece una Fundación en un extremo de la galaxia, con el fin de preservar el conocimiento y acelerar el surgimiento de un nuevo imperio. La saga original consta de tres volúmenes: Fundación (1951), Fundación e imperio (1952) y Segunda Fundación (1953), que recopilan una serie de relatos publicados previamente en revistas. Posteriormente, Asimov amplió la saga con dos precuelas: Preludio a la Fundación (1988) y Hacia la Fundación (1993), y dos secuelas: Los límites de la Fundación (1982) y Fundación y Tierra (1986). En estas obras, Asimov conecta la saga de la Fundación con la serie de los robots, creando un universo coherente y complejo. Además de las series de los robots y la Fundación, Asimov escribió otras obras de ciencia ficción, como la trilogía del Imperio Galáctico, que narra la expansión de la humanidad por la galaxia antes de la formación del imperio; El fin de la eternidad (1955), que trata sobre los viajes en el tiempo y sus consecuencias; o Los propios dioses (1972), que describe el contacto con una civilización alienígena. Asimov también cultivó otros géneros, como el misterio, la fantasía, el humor y la autobiografía. Entre sus obras más destacadas fuera de la ciencia ficción se encuentran: Misterios (1956), una colección de relatos de misterio con un toque científico; Azazel (1988), una serie de cuentos humorísticos sobre un demonio que concede deseos; o Memorias (1979-1994), una extensa autobiografía en cuatro volúmenes. Legado e influencia Isaac Asimov es considerado uno de los maestros de la ciencia ficción y uno de los autores más leídos y admirados del siglo XX. Su obra ha tenido una gran influencia en la literatura, el cine, la televisión, la ciencia y la cultura popular. Sus conceptos de la robótica, la psicohistoria, la inteligencia artificial o el imperio galáctico han sido fuente de inspiración para numerosos escritores, cineastas, científicos y artistas. Algunas de sus obras han sido adaptadas al cine, como Yo, robot (2004), protagonizada por Will Smith, o El hombre bicentenario.

Join Dave and Wayne for genre television show news, a glimpse into what the hosts are currently watching, and commentary and analysis of the Apple TV+ series Foundation. This week on the SciFi TV Rewatch podcast we discuss Serath's seemingly reckless behaviors with Demerzel and whether the Queen Dominion can coerce Dawn into fathering the future emperor. There's still some disagreement whether Hari Seldon is dead at Tellum's hands, but more importantly, Salvor's attempt to get off the island meets with disaster. In our What We're Watching segment, Wayne makes it through S2 of Succession but has more fun w/Lower Decks. Dave checks out the historical Netflix drama Transatlantic and S4 of Sex Education.  In Listener Feedback, Cincinnati Joe finds many of the story lines difficult to accept. Alan in Minnesota doesn't understand how Dawn impregnating Serath really makes any difference. Alan in England gives round 1 to Demerzel, and Fred from the Netherlands points out fascinating details about footprints in the sand.  Remember to join the genre television and film discussion on the SciFi TV Rewatch Facebook group for the latest genre television show news and podcast releases.

It's hard to tell what is real and what is an elaborate hologram. What is going on with Hari Seldon? First he's not leaving footprints (very cool effects), and later found unconscious.

Who is Hari Seldon really? Is the Apple TV+ Foundation TV series character (or characters) in line with the one Asimov created 80 years ago? What bearing does his project to create a science capable of predicting and managing the future have on us today? Can a human creation become self aware and interact with its creator in totally unforeseen ways? Let's take a look at a few of these questions.Active Transcript (read and listen)Paul Levinson's Infinite Regress

“In the Shadow of Seldon” One of the things you can say about Foundation the TeeVee series is that they throw down one hell of a season premiere! And this one is fresh! It's like a brand new TV show that isn't a brand new TV show.  Let's talk about it! It's up to you, of course, but there are spoilers-a-plenty for Foundation, S2E01, “In the Shadow of Seldon” here.  If you don't want anything spoiled, run right over to the nearest screen and watch the episode! We'll be here when you're done! We've proverbially hit the ground running! There's already stuff we're dying to learn in episode two!  Can Gaal and Salvor work as mother and daughter?  Why is the Vault opening? And could this be the beginning of the end for the genetic dynasty? But there's a question that we have to ask ourselves in the next week.  You've noticed that there are already two Hari Seldons wandering around.  It's a murder of crows and a parliament of owls.  What do we call a group of Hari's?  Because I think there's very little chance that particular guy is going to be content with two.   Hari Seldon is called Raven Seldon, so let's not mix the metaphor.  A group of ravens is called a a “rave,” an “unpleasantness,” a “conspiracy,” or a “treachery.”  Which of these do you like best? Or do you have something even better in mind? Let us know and we'll talk about it next week!

On this week's Instant Reaction episode of Foundation, by Story Archives, hosts Mario Busto and Zachary Newton break down the premiere of season two, titled ‘In Seldon's Shadow'. In it, we reunite with Hari Seldon, who seems to be trapped in some sort of after-life Labyrinth of his own mind and consciousness. We catch up with Clean the XVII who has his hands full with bedding Demerzel, fending off an assassination attempt, welcoming his new bride-to-be Queen Sareth, and strategizing on what to do with the news that the Foundation has been forming alliances with other planets in the Outer Reach. And on Synnax, we see Gaal Dornick and Salvor Hardin having a mother-daughter reunion as they attempt to reboot the Beggar and get off the planet before they're wiped out by a hurricane. Woah! That was a lot…and season two is just beginning. It seems Apple TV is taking it up a notch with this season of Foundation, even going so far as to push the series in a more Game of Thrones type direction by hiring Alex Graves to direct three of this season's episodes. More political intrigue? Check! More romance? Check! More combat strategy and violence? Check!

We also reconnect with Gaal and Salvor and learn more about their role to play in the uprising.Adapted from the original series written by Isaac Asimov, Foundation stars Jared Harris (Hari Seldon), Lee Pace (Emperor Day), Lou Llobell (Gaal Dornick), Leah Harvey (Salvor Hardin), Laura Birn (Demerzel), Terrance Mann (Brother Dusk), and Cassian Bilton (Brother Dawn). Many consider the Foundation the Godfather of the Sci-fi genre, having inspired classics like Dune, Star Wars, and Blade Runner. After a 50 year battle to get adapted for the screen, we are in luck, because Apple TV has brought it to life and it is one of the most entertaining shows around currently. *Keep up with all things Story Archives* Official Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://soapbox.house/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Email: Contact@Soapbox.House⁠⁠⁠⁠ Join our newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠https://mailchi.mp/696a96e28b6f/newsletter⁠⁠ Support this show: ⁠⁠⁠⁠ - ⁠⁠https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/story-archives⁠⁠ - ⁠https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=ZWNF4RX3AFVHQ⁠ Follow the hosts on Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/mariobusto/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/zacharyrnewton/⁠⁠⁠ Additional show sponsors: - 1992 Films - ⁠⁠https://www.1992films.com⁠⁠ - Zachary R Newton - ⁠⁠https://zacharyrnewton.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/story-archives/support

Prelude to Foundation is a novel by American writer Isaac Asimov, published in 1988. It is one of two prequels to the Foundation series. For the first time, Asimov chronicles the fictional life of Hari Seldon, the man who invented psychohistory and the intellectual hero of the series.     Scorecard: 8.7/10     Feedback : blackgirlcouch@gmail.com  (audio/written) Twitter: BlackGirl_Couch   Tumblr: slowlandrogynousmiracle

On this week's Deep Dive Episode of Foundation by Story Archives, hosts Mario Busto and Zachary Newton break down season one, episode five titled ‘Upon Awakening'. We find a freshly awakened Gaal Dornick, who has been in cryo-session for 34 years and 223 days. She's been transported to a ship designed for an arrival protocol not her own, and yet, there seems to have been a plan all along left behind by Hari Seldon. Meanwhile on Terminus, Salvor does her best to protect the Foundation from the invading Anacreon's and their plan to bring down an Imperial Jumpship, while Lewis Pirenne foolishly subverts her efforts at every turn. What will the Anacreon's do next? Will Salvor and her family survive? Where in the galaxy is Gaal's ship headed? And just how much exactly did Hari leave planned to take place after he died?

On this week's Deep Dive Episode of Foundation by Story Archives, hosts Mario Busto and Zachary Newton break down season one, episode four, titled “Barbarians at the Gate”. Salvor, as warden of Terminus schemes to find out what Phara and the invading Anacreon's are planning by their invasion of the Foundation's Outpost, while Empire deals with three dilemmas of its own, turmoil in Trantor, the death of the Proxima Opal, and a communication's buoy that's gone offline near Terminus. Meanwhile, within the Genetic Dynasty, we begin to see hints of dissent amongst Emperor Dawn, Day and Dusk, with Dawn giving credence to idea that Dusk was right about something being off about his birth. How much could Hari Seldon have predicted about everything that's happening? Is the Empire's downfall truly beginning at the edge of the galaxy? Was the Vault somehow part of Hari's plan? Where is Gaal? And why/how is Salvor being led by these almost divine visions? Find out the answers to all of these questions and more by tuning into this week's episode of Story Archives.

We catch up with all of the Cleon's and learn more about how this ‘genetic dynasty' thing works, courtesy of this really creepy Baby Clean clone. We also learned that Darkness follows Dusk. On Terminus, we catch up to the Foundation and see how their progress is coming along 17 years after Hari Seldon's death. We also get to learn more about Salvor Hardin, the Warden of Terminus and her special connection to the Vault, as well as her love connection to a Vespin Ship Pilot named Hugo.

Every once in a while we are just absolutely stunned by one of the topics that we get a chance to watch and talk about. Today's topic is one those times. Not only is the cast absolutely amazing, but Apple TV has spared no expense in making this series looking absolutely beautiful as well. From space, to the ships, to the environments, and ALL of the different storylines, we were literally taken aback! We're talking about the series, Foundation!"The Foundation saga follows revolutionary Dr Hari Seldon, who predicts the impending fall of the Empire, and joins a band of loyal followers to venture to the far reaches of the galaxy to establish 'The Foundation' in an attempt to preserve the future of civilization." There is so much going on during this series that it's almost impossible to explain in a small blurb. There are clones that keep cloning themselves in order to stay in power, and to keep their kingdom at all costs. There are heretics, and there is also some kind of time travel, PLUS this giant object out in the middle of nowhere that nobody knows how to explain. Though there are many things to pay attention to, we promise that it's worth the time!  SUBSCRIBE: Apple Podcasts | Android |  Spotify | Pandora | RSS Tell us what you think!Leave us a voicemail at 970-573-6148Send us feedback and/or MP3's to outsidethelongbox@gmail.comFollow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Youtube!Support the podcast on Patreon!Credit - Doyle Daniels, Juan Muro

This week, the duo tackles Karl's pick— the first novel in Isaac Asimov's classic science-fiction masterpiece.  Largely regarded as a launch pad for space-age science fiction, Foundation is a collection of five short stories which were first published together as a book by Gnome Press in 1951. The series tells the story of the Foundation, an institute founded by psychohistorian Hari Seldon to preserve the best of galactic civilization after the collapse of the Galactic Empire. Scott says, "Asimov and all that stuff from this era is one of the reasons the boomers are the way they are. They were inculcated with a worldview that is out of fiction. They think everything is always going to improve, that science has the answer, and they see that history and the scope of time is a character and acts in and of itself so they don't have a responsibility."  Tune in to hear Part One of the duo's conversation and learn why Karl calls this "a good bad book."

À l'occasion de la sortie de la saison 3 de For All Mankind sur Apple TV+, c'est le moment de revenir sur trois autres séries de science-fiction qui logent sur la plateforme. Invasion et son histoire chorale On avait été surpris l'an dernier par la beauté d'Invasion, avec ses personnages que rien ne semblait lier et qui révèlent un destin de plus grande ampleur. Créée par Simon Kinberg (The Martian) et David Weil (Hunters), la série Apple Original de dix épisodes, Invasion c'est une histoire un peu lente, qui prend son temps pour s'installer et qui prend le contrepied des séries de science-fiction avec plein d'effets spéciaux. Comme son titre l'indique, une forme de vie intelligente a débarqué sur Terre (en tant que spectateur on le comprend très vite, mais pour les personnages, ils mettent quelques épisodes avant de le réaliser) et tout ne se passe pas dans la paix. Des personnages des quatre coins du globe vont se retrouver au cœur de notre histoire d'un enfant britannique qui tente de se montrer courageux à une Japonaise perdue ou encore un soldat américain. https://youtu.be/WZwflMVFyTM De par son ensemble chorale à ses effets spéciaux dignes d'un blockbuster, Apple TV+ n'a pas lésiné sur les moyens pour un budget estimé à 200 millions de dollars. Les plans cinématiques sont impressionnants, que ce soit les illustrations de paysages désertiques, au moindre détail d'une opération chirurgicale. En plus de cela, la musique de Max Richter fait son effet. Le compositeur d'Ad Astra bien habitué à des histoires épiques représente la valeur ajoutée de la série. Fondation et sa revisite d'une saga culte L'adaptation de la saga d'Isaac Asimov tant attendue par les fans a su créer de nouveaux fidèles. Ambitieuse et spectaculaire, Fondation donne vie à l'univers du maître de la science-fiction. Place à la psycho histoire, une discipline qui permet de prédire l'avenir tout en utilisant les mathématiques. L'Empire domine avec ses trois figures de Frères qui sont adulés par la galaxie. Mais quand Hari Seldon prédit la chute de l'Empire, il en faudra peu pour qu'il se fasse exiler avec ses suiveurs pour commencer une nouvelle colonie aux confins de la galaxie. Et quand cette fameuse colonie pourrait véritablement changer le futur, il va falloir trouver un moyen de les éliminer. https://youtu.be/VR4XqCzTFgI Alors que le livre d'Asimov est un petit volume pour son tome 1, la série de David G. Goyer et Josh Friedman ajoute de nombreux éléments à l'oeuvre originale. Ainsi, l'Empire galactique n'est plus une entité en arrière-plan du récit comme dans le premier livre, il a une place prépondérante avec cette fameuse dynastie génétique composée de trois empereurs, une idée neuve amenée par la série. L'adaptation développe ainsi des lignes narratives à peine évoquées dans le livre, comblant des trous creusés par des ellipses de parfois plusieurs siècles. Avec une histoire actualisée, les fondations de la série restent assez classiques mais abritent une très grande ambition. Roar et son anthologie dérangeante Peu promue et peu discutée, l'anthologie Roar explore l'absurdité de la vie. Dans le même concept que La quatrième dimension, voire aussi Black Mirror, Roar prend une expression de la vie courante qu'elle va raconter au premier degré. L'épisode avec Issa Rae parle de l'invisibilité on des minorités par exemple, et très rapidement elle va se faire littéralement ignorer par les Caucasiens.

À l'occasion de la sortie de la saison 3 de For All Mankind sur Apple TV+, c'est le moment de revenir sur trois autres séries de science-fiction qui logent sur la plateforme. Invasion et son histoire chorale On avait été surpris l'an dernier par la beauté d'Invasion, avec ses personnages que rien ne semblait lier et qui révèlent un destin de plus grande ampleur. Créée par Simon Kinberg (The Martian) et David Weil (Hunters), la série Apple Original de dix épisodes, Invasion c'est une histoire un peu lente, qui prend son temps pour s'installer et qui prend le contrepied des séries de science-fiction avec plein d'effets spéciaux. Comme son titre l'indique, une forme de vie intelligente a débarqué sur Terre (en tant que spectateur on le comprend très vite, mais pour les personnages, ils mettent quelques épisodes avant de le réaliser) et tout ne se passe pas dans la paix. Des personnages des quatre coins du globe vont se retrouver au cœur de notre histoire d'un enfant britannique qui tente de se montrer courageux à une Japonaise perdue ou encore un soldat américain. https://youtu.be/WZwflMVFyTM De par son ensemble chorale à ses effets spéciaux dignes d'un blockbuster, Apple TV+ n'a pas lésiné sur les moyens pour un budget estimé à 200 millions de dollars. Les plans cinématiques sont impressionnants, que ce soit les illustrations de paysages désertiques, au moindre détail d'une opération chirurgicale. En plus de cela, la musique de Max Richter fait son effet. Le compositeur d'Ad Astra bien habitué à des histoires épiques représente la valeur ajoutée de la série. Fondation et sa revisite d'une saga culte L'adaptation de la saga d'Isaac Asimov tant attendue par les fans a su créer de nouveaux fidèles. Ambitieuse et spectaculaire, Fondation donne vie à l'univers du maître de la science-fiction. Place à la psycho histoire, une discipline qui permet de prédire l'avenir tout en utilisant les mathématiques. L'Empire domine avec ses trois figures de Frères qui sont adulés par la galaxie. Mais quand Hari Seldon prédit la chute de l'Empire, il en faudra peu pour qu'il se fasse exiler avec ses suiveurs pour commencer une nouvelle colonie aux confins de la galaxie. Et quand cette fameuse colonie pourrait véritablement changer le futur, il va falloir trouver un moyen de les éliminer. https://youtu.be/VR4XqCzTFgI Alors que le livre d'Asimov est un petit volume pour son tome 1, la série de David G. Goyer et Josh Friedman ajoute de nombreux éléments à l'oeuvre originale. Ainsi, l'Empire galactique n'est plus une entité en arrière-plan du récit comme dans le premier livre, il a une place prépondérante avec cette fameuse dynastie génétique composée de trois empereurs, une idée neuve amenée par la série. L'adaptation développe ainsi des lignes narratives à peine évoquées dans le livre, comblant des trous creusés par des ellipses de parfois plusieurs siècles. Avec une histoire actualisée, les fondations de la série restent assez classiques mais abritent une très grande ambition. Roar et son anthologie dérangeante Peu promue et peu discutée, l'anthologie Roar explore l'absurdité de la vie. Dans le même concept que La quatrième dimension, voire aussi Black Mirror, Roar prend une expression de la vie courante qu'elle va raconter au premier degré. L'épisode avec Issa Rae parle de l'invisibilité on des minorités par exemple, et très rapidement elle va se faire littéralement ignorer par les Caucasiens. Dans celui avec Betty Gilpin qui illustre ce qu'est une Trophy Wife, son personnage va être déposé sur une étagère et y rester. On mentionnera également la présence de Nicole Kidman. Assez dérangeante, Roar fait réfléchir sur des petites choses de la vie quotidienne ainsi que sur des clichés plus ancrés. Tout comme dans les épisodes de La quatrième dimension, il n'y a pas de bonne fin mais plutôt des fins ouvertes qui font qu'on ne sait pas sur quel pied danser. https://youtu.be/RK1OtUOdfi0 La production ultra précise est une des forces de l'anthologie. En revanche, à trop pousser le premier degré, l'absurde semble desservir l'histoire et nous fait décrocher parfois du propos.

Well, here we are again with another installment on Asimov's swansong, Forward the Foundation. You might recall that Forward was written as a series of Novellas the first three of which appeared in Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine. The installment we're discussing this time is "Cleon I" which originally appeared in the magazine's 15th-anniversary issue in April 1992 as "Cleon the Emperor." Much like the previous story, it isn't very much about the titular character but it's a lot about Hari Seldon. This one is set during his tenure as Cleon's First Minister. The cover, by Gary Friedman, is lovely; it's Asimov himself alongside a woman who is almost certainly Dors Venabali. I can't say it's Dors for sure, but I can state with absolute certainty that character is neither from Mycogen nor Dahl. Inside the issue, there's an extensive editorial about the Foundation series and its history and it answers, in part, one of the questions we posed on the podcast. We'd wondered why Asimov decided to write Forward as a series of novellas and evidently, the genesis of the idea came from Jennifer Brehl, who Asimov calls "my brilliant and lovely editor." You can see the cover and read more about the editorial at your leisure on our website. And, if you want to learn more about those costume design awards, there's some more information here. But in the meantime, join us for our latest episode as we continue through the life story of Hari Seldon!

I'm joined this week by someone who is honestly, feels like they're after my own heart. Aidan Steele by day is a serverless engineer at Stedi, but by night, he is an absolute treasure and a delight because not only does he write awesome third-party tooling and blog posts and whatnot around the AWS ecosystem, but he turns them into the most glorious, intricate, and technical shit posts that I think I've ever seen. Aidan, thank you for joining me.Aidan: Hi, Corey, thanks for having me. It's an honor to be here. Hopefully, we get to talk some AWS, and maybe also talk some nonsense as well.Corey: I would argue that in many ways, those things are one in the same. And one of the things I always appreciated about how you approach things is, you definitely seem to share that particular ethos with me. And there's been a lot of interesting content coming out from you in recent days. The thing that really wound up showing up on my radar in a big way was back at the start of January—2022, for those listening to this in the glorious future—about using IPv6 to use multi-factor auth, which it is so… I don't even have the adjectives to throw at this because, first it is ridiculous, two, it is effective, and three, it is just who thinks like that? What is this and what did you—what monstrosity have you built?Aidan: So, what did I end up calling it? I think it was ipv6-ghost-ship. And I think I called it that because I'd recently watched, oh, what was that series that was recently on Apple TV? Uh, the Isaac Asimov—Corey: If it's not Paw Patrol, I have no idea what it is because I have a four-year-old who is very insistent about these things. It is not so much a TV show as it is a way of life. My life is terrible. Please put me out of my misery.Aidan: Well, at least it's not Bluey. That's the one I usually hear about. That's Australia's greatest export. But it was one of the plot devices was a ship that would teleport around the place, and you could never predict where it was next. And so no one could access it. And I thought, “Oh, what about if I use the IPv6 address space?”Corey: Oh, Foundation?Aidan: That's the one. Foundation. That's how the name came about. The idea, honestly, it was because I saw—when was it?—sometime last year, AWS added support for those IP address prefixes. IPv4 prefixes were small; very useful and important, but IPv6 with more than 2 trillion IP addresses, per instance, I thought there's got to be fun to be had there.Corey: 281 trillion, I believe is the—Aidan: 281 trillion.Corey: Yeah. It is sarcastically large space. And that also has effectively, I would say in InfoSec sense, killed port scanning, the idea I'm going to scan the IP range and see what's there, just because that takes such a tremendous amount of time. Now here, in reality, you also wind up with people using compromised resources, and yeah, it turns out, I can absolutely scan trillions upon trillions of IP addresses as long as I'm using your AWS account and associated credit card in which to do it. But here in the real world, it is not an easily discoverable problem space.Aidan: Yeah. I made it as a novelty, really. I was looking for a reason to learn more about IPv6 and subnetting because it's the term I'd heard, a thing I didn't really understand, and the way I learn things is by trying to build them, realizing I have no idea what I'm doing, googling the error messages, reluctantly looking at the documentation, and then repeating until I've built something. And yeah, and then I built it, published it, and seemed to be pretty popular. It struck a chord. People retweeted it. It tickled your fancy. I think it spoke something in all of us who are trying not to take our jobs too seriously, you know, know we can have a little fun with this ludicrous tech that we get to play with.Corey: The idea being, you take the multi-factor auth code that your thing generates, and that is the last series of octets for the IP address you wind up going towards and that is such a large problem space that you're not going to find it in time, so whatever it is automatically connect to that particular IP address because that's the only one that's going to be listening for a 30 to 60-second span for the connection to be established. It is a great idea because SSH doesn't support this stuff natively. There's no good two-factor auth approach for this. And I love it. I'd be scared to death to run this in production for something that actually matters.And we also start caring a lot more about how accurate are the clocks on those instances, all of a sudden. But, oh, I just love the concept so much because it hits on the ethos of—I think—what so much of the cloud does were these really are fundamental building blocks that we can use to build incredible, awe-inspiring things that are globe-spanning, and also ridiculousness. And there's so much value of being able to do the same thing, sometimes at the same time.Aidan: Yeah, it's interesting, you mentioned, like, never using in prod, and I guess when I was building it, I thought, you know, that would be apparent. Like, “Yes, this is very neat, but surely no one's going to use it.” And I did see someone raised an issue on the GitHub project which was talking about clock skew. And I mentioned—Corey: Here at the bank where I'm running this in production, we're—Aidan: [laugh].Corey: —having some trouble with the clock. Yeah, it's—Aidan: You know, I mentioned that the underlying 2FA library did account for clock scheme 30 seconds either way, but it made me realize, I might need to put a disclaimer on the project. While the code is probably reasonably sound, I personally wouldn't run it in production, and it was more meant to be a piece of performance art or something to tickle one's fancy and to move on, not to roll it out. But I don't know, different strokes for different folks.Corey: I have gotten a lot better about calling out my ridiculous shitpost things when I do them. And the thing that really drove that home for me was talking about using DNS TXT records to store information about what server a virtual machine lives on—or container or whatnot—thus using Route 53 is a database. And that was a great gag, and then someone did a Reddit post of “This seems like a really good idea, so I'm going to start doing it, and I'm having these questions.”And at that point is like, “Okay, I've got a break character at that point.” And is, yeah, “Hi. That's my joke. Don't do it because X, Y, and Z are your failure modes, there are better tools for it. So yeah, there are ways you can do this with DNS, but it's not generally a great idea, and there are some risk factors to it. And okay, A, B, and C are the things you don't want to do, so let's instead do it in a halfway intelligent way because it's only funny if everyone's laughing. Otherwise, we fall into this trap of people take you seriously and they feel bad as a result when it doesn't work in production. So, calling it out as this is a joke tends to put a lot of that aside. It also keeps people from feeling left out.Aidan: Yeah. I realized that because the next novelty project I did a few days later—not sure if you caught it—it was a Rick Roll over ICMPv6 packets, where if you had run ping six to a certain IP range, it would return the lyrics to music's greatest treasure. So, I think that was hopefully a bit more self-evident that this should never be taken seriously. Who knows, I'm sure someone will find a use for it in prod.Corey: And I was looking through this, this is great. I love some of the stuff that you're doing because it's just fantastic. And I started digging a bit more to things you had done. And at that point, it was whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute. Back in 2020, you found an example of an issue with AWS's security model where CloudTrail would just start—if asked nicely—spewing other people's credential sets and CloudTrail events and whatnot into your account.And, A, that's kind of a problem. B, it was something that didn't make that big of a splash when it came out—I don't even think I linked to it at the time—and, C, it was examples of after the recent revelations around CloudFormation and Glue that the fine folks at Orca Security found out. That wasn't a one-off because you'd done this a year beforehand. We have now an established track record of cross-account data sharing and, potentially, exploits, and I'm looking at this and I got to level with you I felt incredibly naive because I had assumed that since we hadn't heard of this stuff in any real big sense that it simply didn't happen.So, when we heard about Azure; obviously, it's because Azure is complete clown shoes and the excellent people that AWS would never make these sorts of mistakes. Except we now have evidence that they absolutely did and didn't talk about it publicly. And I've got a level with you. I feel more than a little bit foolish, betrayed, naive for all this. What's your take on it?Aidan: Yeah, so just to clarify, it wasn't actually in your account. It was the new AWS custom resource execution model was you would upload a Lambda function that would run in an Amazon-managed account. And so that immediately set off my spidey sense because executing code in someone else's account seems fraught with peril. And so—Corey: Yeah, you can do all kinds of horrifying things there, like, use it to run containers.Aidan: Yeah. [laugh]. Thankfully, I didn't do anything that egregious. I stayed inside the Lambda function, but I look—I poked around at what credentials have had, and it would use CloudWatch to reinvoke itself and CloudWatch kept recording CloudTrail. And I won't go into all the details, but it ended up being that you could see credentials being recorded in CloudTrail in that account, and I could, sort of, funnel them out of there.When I found this, I was a little scared, and I don't think I'd reported an issue to AWS before, so I didn't want to go too far and do anything that could be considered malicious. So, I didn't actively seek out other people's credentials.Corey: Yeah, as a general rule, it's best once you discover things like that to do the right thing and report it, not proceed to, you know, inadvertently commit felonies.Aidan: Yeah. Especially because it was my first time. I felt better safe than sorry. So, I didn't see other credentials, but I had no reason to believe that, I wouldn't see it if I kept looking. I reported it to Amazon. Their security team was incredibly professional, made me feel very comfortable reporting it, and let me know when, you know, they'd remediated it, which was a matter of days later.But afterwards, it left me feeling a little surprised because I was able to publish about it, and a few people responded, you know, the sorts of people who pay close attention to the industry, but Amazon didn't publish anything as far as I was aware. And it changed the way I felt about AWS security, because like you, I sort of felt that AWS, more or less had a pretty perfect track record. They would have advisories about possible [Zen 00:12:04] exploits, and so on. But they'd never published anything about potential for compromise. And it makes me wonder how many of the things might have been reported in the past where either the third-party researcher either didn't end up publishing, or they published and it just disappeared into the blogosphere, and I hadn't seen it.Corey: They have a big earn trust principle over there, and I think that they always focus on the trust portion of it, but I think what got overlooked is the earn. When people are giving you trust that you haven't earned, on some level, the right thing to do is to call it out and be transparent around these things. Yes, I know, Wall Street's going to be annoyed and headlines, et cetera, et cetera, but I had always had the impression that had there been a cross-account vulnerability or a breach of some sort, they would communicate this and they would have their executives go on a speaking tour about it to explain how defense-in-depth mitigated some of it, and/or lessons learned, and/or what else we can learn. But it turns out that wasn't was happening at all. And I feel like they have been given trust that was unearned and now I am not happy with it.I suddenly have a lot more of a, I guess, skeptical position toward them as a result, and I have very little tolerance left for what has previously been a staple of the AWS security discussions, which is an executive getting on stage for a while and droning on about the shared responsibility model with the very strong implication that “Oh, yeah, we're fine. It's all on your side of the fence that things are going to break.” Yeah, turns out, that's not so true. Just you know, about the things on your side of the fence in a way that you don't about the things that are on theirs.Aidan: Yeah, it's an interesting one. Like, I think about it and I think, “Well, they never made an explicit promise that they would publish these things,” so, on one hand, I say to myself, “Oh, maybe that's on me for making that assumption.” But, I don't know, I feel like the way we felt was justified. Maybe naive in hindsight, but then, you know, I guess… I'm still not sure how to feel because of, like, I think about recent issues and how a couple of AWS Distinguished Engineers jumped on Twitter, and to their credit were extremely proactive in engaging with the community.But is that enough? It might be enough for say, to set my mind at ease or your mind at ease because we are, [laugh] to put it mildly, highly engaged, perhaps a little too engaged in the AWS space, but Twitter's very ephemeral. Very few of AWS's customers—Corey: Yeah, I can't link to tweets by distinguished engineers to present to an executive leadership team as an official statement from Amazon. I just can't.Aidan: Yeah. Yeah.Corey: And so the lesson we can take from this is okay, so “Well, we never actually said this.” “So, let me get this straight. You're content to basically let people assume whatever they want until they ask you an explicit question around these things. Really? Is that the lesson you want me to take from this? Because I have a whole bunch of very explicit questions that I will be asking you going forward, if that is in fact, your position. And you are not going to like the fact that I'm asking these questions.”Even if the answer is a hard no, people who did not have this context are going to wonder why are people asking those questions? It's a massive footgun here for them if that is the position that they intend to have. I want to be clear as well; this is also a messaging problem. It is not in any way, a condemnation of their excellent folks working on the security implementation themselves. This stuff is hard and those people are all-stars. I want to be very clear on this. It is purely around the messaging and positioning of the security posture.Aidan: Yeah, yeah. That's a good clarification because like you, my understanding that the service teams are doing a really stellar, above-average job, industry-wide, and the AWS Security Response Teams, I have absolute faith in them. It is a matter of messaging. And I guess what particularly brings it to front-of-mind is, it was earlier this month, or maybe it was last month, I received an email from a company called Sourcegraph. They do code search.I'm not even a customer of theirs yet, you know? I'm on a free trial, and I got an email that—I'm paraphrasing here—was something to the effect of, we discovered that it was possible for your code to appear in other customers' code search results. It was discovered by one of our own engineers. We found that the circumstances hadn't cropped up, but we wanted to tell you that it was possible. It didn't happen, and we're working on making sure it won't happen again.And I think about how radically different that is where they didn't have a third-party researcher forcing their hand; they could have very easily swept under the rug, but they were so proactive that, honestly, that's probably what's going to tipped me over to the edge into me becoming a customer. I mean, other than them having a great product. But yeah, it's a big contrast. It's how I like to see other companies work, especially Amazon.Corey: This episode is sponsored in part by our friends at Sysdig. Sysdig is the solution for securing DevOps. They have a blog post that went up recently about how an insecure AWS Lambda function could be used as a pivot point to get access into your environment. They've also gone deep in-depth with a bunch of other approaches to how DevOps and security are inextricably linked. To learn more, visit sysdig.com and tell them I sent you. That's S-Y-S-D-I-G dot com. My thanks to them for their continued support of this ridiculous nonsense.Corey: The two companies that I can think of that have had security problems have been CircleCI and Travis CI. Circle had an incredibly transparent early-on blog post, they engaged with customers on the forums, and they did super well. Travis basically denied, stonewalled for ages, and now the only people who use Travis are there because they haven't found a good way to get off of it yet. It is effectively DOA. And I don't think those two things are unrelated.Aidan: Yeah. No, that's a great point. Because you know, I've been in this industry long enough. You have to know that humans write code and humans make mistakes—I know I've made more than my fair share—and I'm not going to write off the company for making a mistake. It's entirely in their response. And yeah, you're right. That's why Circle is still a trustworthy business that should earn people's business and why Travis—why I recommend everyone move away from.Corey: Yeah, I like Orca Security as a company and as a product, but at the moment, I am not their customer. I am AWS's customer. So, why the hell am I hearing it from Orca and not AWS when this happens?Aidan: Yeah, yeah. It's… not great. On one hand, I'm glad I'm not in charge of finding a solution to this because I don't have the skills or the expertise to manage that communication. Because like I think you said in the past, there's a lot of different audiences that they have to communicate with. They have to communicate with the stock market, they have to communicate with execs, they have to communicate with developers, and each of those audiences demands a different level of detail, a different focus. And it's tricky. And how do you manage that? But, I don't know, I feel like you have an obligation to when people place that level of trust in you.Corey: It's just a matter of doing right by your customers, on some level.Aidan: Yeah.Corey: How long have you been working on an AWS-side environments? Clearly, this is not like, “Well, it's year two,” because if so I'm going to feel remarkably behind.Aidan: [laugh]. So, I've been writing code in some capacity or another for 20 years. It took about five years to get anyone to pay me to do so. But yeah, I guess the start of my professional career—and by ‘professional,' I want to use it in strictest term, means getting paid for money; not that I [laugh] am necessarily a professional—coincided with the launch of AWS. So, I don't hadn't experienced with the before times of data centers, never had to think about direct connect, but it means I have been using AWS since sometime in 2008.I was just looking at my bill earlier, I saw that my first bill was for $70. It was—I was using a C1xLarge, which was 80 cents an hour, and it had eight-core CPUs. And to put that in context at the time—Corey: Eight vCPUs, technically I believe.Aidan: An it basically is—Corey: —or were they using [eCPU 00:20:31] model back then?Aidan: Yeah, no, that was vCPUs. But to me, that was extraordinary. You know, I was somewhere just after high school. It was—the Netflix Prize was around. If you're not sure what that was, it was Netflix had this open competition where they said anyone who could improve upon their movie recommendation algorithm could win a million dollars.And obviously being a teenager, I had a massive ego and [laugh] no self-doubt, so I thought I could win this, but I just don't have enough CPUs or RAM on my laptop. And so when EC2 launched, and I could pay 80 cents an hour, rather than signing up for a 12-month contract with a colocation company, it was just a dream come true. I was able to run my terrible algorithms, but I could run them eight times faster. Unfortunately and obviously, I didn't win because it turns out, I'm not a world-class statistician. But—Corey: Common mistake. I make that mistake myself all the time.Aidan: [laugh]. Yeah. I mean, you know, I think I was probably 19 at the time, so I had—my ego did make me think I was one, but it turned out not to be so. But I think that was what really blew my mind was that me, a nobody, could create an account with Amazon and get access to these incredibly powerful machines for less than the dollar. And so I was hooked.Since then, I've worked at companies that are AWS customers since then. I've worked at places that have zero EC2 service, worked at places that have had thousands, and places in between. And it's got to a point, actually, where, I guess, my career is so entwined with AWS that one, my initials are actually AWS, but also—and this might sound ridiculous, and it's probably just a sign of my privilege—that I wouldn't consider working somewhere that used another cloud. Not—Corey: No, I think that's absolutely the right approach.Aidan: Yeah.Corey: I had a Twitter thread on this somewhat recently, and I'm going to turn it into a blog post because I got some pushback. If I were looking at doing something and I would come into the industry right now, my first choice would be Google Cloud because its developer experience is excellent. But I'm not coming to this without any experience. I have spent a decade or so learning not just how it was works, but also how it breaks, understanding the failure mode and what that's going to look like and what it's good at and what it's not. That's the valuable stuff for running things in a serious way.Aidan: Yeah. It's an interesting one. And I mean, for better or worse, AWS is big. I'm sure you will know much better than I do the exact numbers, but if a junior developer came to me and said, “Which cloud should I learn, or should I learn all of them?” I mean, you're right, Google Cloud does have a better developer experience, especially for new developers, but when I think about the sheer number of jobs that are available for developers, I feel like I would be doing them a disservice by not suggesting AWS, at least in Australia. It seems they've got such a huge footprint that you'll always be able to find a job working as an AWS-familiar engineer. It seems like that would be less the case with Google Cloud or Azure.Corey: Again, I am not sitting here, suggesting that anyone should, “Oh, clouds are insecure. We're going to run our own stuff in our own data centers.” That is ridiculous in this era. They are still going to do a better job of security than any of us will individually, let's be clear here. And it empowers and unlocks an awful lot of stuff.But with their privileged position as these hyperscale providers that are the default choice for building things, I think comes with a significant level of responsibility that I am displeased to discover that they've been abdicating. And I don't love that.Aidan: Yeah, it's an interesting one, right, because, like you're saying, they have access and the expertise that people doing it themselves will never match. So, you know, I'm never going to hesitate to recommend people use AWS on account security because your company's security posture will almost always be better for using AWS and following their guidelines, and so on. But yeah, like you say, with great power comes significant responsibility to earn trust and retain that trust by admitting and publicizing when mistakes are made.Corey: One last topic I want to get into with you is one that you and I have talked about very briefly elsewhere, that I feel like you and I are both relatively up-to-date on AWS intricacies. I think that we are both better than the average bear working with the platform. But I know that I feel this way, and I suspect you do too that VPCs have gotten confusing as hell. Is that just me? Am I a secret moron that no one bothered to ever tell me this, and I should update my own self-awareness?Aidan: [laugh]. Yeah, it's… I mean, that's been the story of my career with AWS. When I started, VPCs didn't exist. It was EC2 Classic—well, I guess at the time, it was just EC2—and it was simple. You launched an instance and you had an IP address.And then along came VPCs, and I think at the time, I thought something to the effect of “This seems like needless complexity. I'm not going to bother learning this. It will never be relevant.” In the end that wasn't true. I worked in much large deployments when VPCs made fantastic sense made a lot of things possible, but I still didn't go into the weeds.Since then, AWS has announced that EC2 Classic will be retired; an end of an era. I'm not personally still running anything in EC2 Classic, and I think they've done an incredible job of maintain support for this long, but VPC complexity has certainly been growing year-on-year since then. I recently was using the AWS console—like we all do and no one ever admits to—to edit a VPC subnet route table. And I clicked the drop-down box for a target, and I was overwhelmed by the number of options. There were NAT gateways, internet gateways, carrier gateways, I think there was a thing called a wavelength gateway, ENI, and… I [laugh] I think I was surprised because I just scroll through the list, and I thought, “Wow, that is a lot of different options. Why is that?”Especially because it's not so relevant to me. But I realized a big thing of what AWS has been doing lately is trying to make themselves available to people who haven't used the cloud yet. And they have these complicated networking needs, and it seems like they're trying to—reasonably successfully—make anything possible. But with that comes, you know, additional complexity.Corey: I appreciate that the capacity is there, but there has to be an abstraction model for getting rid of some of this complexity because otherwise, the failure mode is you wind up with this amazingly capable thing that can build marvels, but you also need to basically have a PhD in some of these things to wind up tying it all together. And if you bring someone else in to do it, then you have no idea how to run the thing. You're effectively a golden retriever trying to fly a space shuttle.Aidan: Yeah. It's interesting, like, clearly, they must be acutely aware of this because they have default VPCs, and for many use cases, that's all people should need. But as soon as you want, say a private subnet, then you need to either modify that default VPC or create a new one, and it's sort of going from 0 to 100 complexity extremely quickly because, you know, you need to create route tables to everyone's favorite net gateways, and it feels like the on-ramp needs to be not so steep. Not sure what the solution is, I hope they find one.Corey: As do I. I really want to thank you for taking the time to speak with me about so many of these things. If people want to learn more about what you're up to, where's the best place to find you?Aidan: Twitter's the best place. On Twitter, my username is @__Steele, which is S-T-E-E-L-E. From there, that's where I'll either—I'll at least speculate on the latest releases or link to some of the silly things I put on GitHub. Sometimes they're not so silly things. But yeah, that's where I can be found. And I'd love to chat to anyone about AWS. It's something I can geek out about all day, every day.Corey: And we will certainly include links to that in the [show notes 00:29:50]. Thank you so much for taking the time to speak with me today. I really appreciate it.Aidan: Well, thank you so much for having me. It's been an absolute delight.Corey: Aidan Steele, serverless engineer at Stedi, and shit poster extraordinaire. I'm Cloud Economist Corey Quinn and this is Screaming in the Cloud.

Introducing this episode puts me in mind of Tom Lehrer's Alma, which was inspired by, as he puts it, "the juiciest, spiciest, raciest obituary it has ever been my pleasure to read." The amount of prime humor that one mathematician can fit into a three-and-a-half-minute sound clip is impressive. Hari Seldon, our protagonal mathematician, isn't nearly so funny. In fact, he seems to take himself quite seriously. But he does get to participate in the juiciest, spiciest, raciest scene in the entire Asimov canon. And that includes the non-fiction. That scene is also startlingly strange. We'll talk about it. Then we'll move on to other grandiose notions like the nature of religion, governmental ethics, and Pascal's Wager. Also, there is a robot! Join us as we follow Hari and Dors through the remainder of their sojourn in Mycogen. You'll be glad you did!

Il Ciclo delle Fondazioni, capolavoro assoluto e imprescindibile della letteratura di genere fantascientifico – ma da leggere da amanti delle belle letture – diventa una serie TV per Apple. Assieme ad Hari Seldon potrete assistere al declino dell'Impero Galattico e alla fondazione di Terminus, dove conservare tutto il sapere tecnologico [...] L'articolo Fondazione proviene da RadioAnimati.

Erich and Jordan begin a new breakdown series for the Apple TV exclusive Foundation. The Foundation was originally a science fiction book written by Isaac Asimov. The series was initially published as a trilogy from 1951-53. It won the one-time Hugo Award for "Best All-Time Series" in 1966. The books recount the fall of a vast interstellar empire and the establishment of its eventual successor. They also feature his fictional science of psychohistory, in which the future course of the history of large populations can be predicted. The adaptation for the show is helmed by David S. Goyer and Josh Friedman. Asimov's daughter, Robyn Asimov serves as an executive producer. Casting includes Jared Harris as Hari Seldon, Lou Lobell as Gaal Dornick, and Lee Pace as Brother Day.

In the criminal justice system, the podcast is represented by two separate, but equally important kinds of seasons. The odd-numbered seasons, which directly discuss Asimov's Foundation and the even-numbered seasons that talk about the Apple TV+ series. So now we start the interregnum between seasons 1 and 2 of Apple TV's Foundation. That's our cue to start Stars End season 3. That's as many seasons as Gilligan's Island or the original Star Trek but far fewer than Law & Order. We're shooting for the latter. We have a plan and if you follow our plan and listen to our podcast it will seem like far less than 30,000 years until we start to get new episodes of the teevee show. So in this episode, we start discussing Prelude to Foundation in which we meet Eto Demerzel and begin Hari Seldon's long journey to create Psychohistory. If you're reading along this time we talk about the first three sections, "Mathematician," "Flight," and "Library." But whether you're reading along or not, let's go! This will be fun!

Join Dave and Wayne for genre television show news, a glimpse into what the hosts are currently watching, commentary and analysis of the Apple TV+ science fiction series Foundation, and our listener feedback.  This week on the SciFi TV Rewatch podcast we discuss Brother Day's seemingly inconsistent approaches to his future rule and the punishment he assigns to Azura. How will the series approach the time differences between the story lines as we now watch Salvor and Gaal 138 years in the future? In our What We're Watching segment, Wayne checks out the first episode of Hawkeye and gets caught up on Dickinson. Dave finishes The Americans and has high praise for Part 1 of the Beatles documentary Get Back.  In Listener Feedback, Fred from the Netherlands questions how the Anacreons activate Hari Seldon inside The Vault.  Remember to join the genre television and film discussion on the SciFi TV Rewatch Facebook group for the latest genre television show news and podcast releases.

This week The TV Boys sit down to discuss Apple TV's Foundation. This adaptation of Issac Asimov's award winning series may just be the most interesting Sci-Fi production of the year.

Isaac Asimov's character (from the Foundation series, now an Apple TV series) Hari Seldon is a psychohistorian, which basically means he is a macro-behavioral economist. But he has a much better forecasting rate and a much longer horizon than today's economists. Why? What can we learn from Asimov's invention of 'psychohistory,' and are there any hints that group behavior may be more predictable than it seems to be in practice? Yup!

This week's guest is Justin Trollip, the product manager of Pangolin. In addition to his work on Pangolin, Justin details his work on Crypt, Kudoo, and building communities on Avalanche.

Welcome to the Such Nerds Podcast!  Listen to Russell, Peter, and Jason in our first episode:  A discussion about the Isaac Asimov novel Foundation as we review Part I The Psychohistorians.  Gaal Dornick and Hari Seldon navigate the bureaucracy of the Trantor, the planet that houses the central government of the Galactic Empire (for now)... www.suchnerds.com 

Hari Seldon is one of the founders of Crypt (https://0xcryptfi.gitbook.io/the-crypt/), which is a decentralized estate planning application, presently in development,  that will run on the Avalanche Blockchain. In this conversation, we discuss Crypt, Crypt's future direction, the tokenomics of Crypt's governance token (cleverly named RIP), the tools used to build Crypt, and resources and books that Hari recommends with respect to cryptocurrencies and the Avalanche blockchain. If you enjoyed the podcast, visit the Giving Block (https://www.thegivingblock.com/) and donate some crypto to your favourite charity.
