#4 True and I have read many of the books and articles Asimov wrote as he could write about just anything and make it entertaining except for the Foundation books which I skipped thru as they were boring.

Now make a movie out of Ringworld by Larry Nivens from 1970!
When Worlds Collide and the sequel After Worlds Collide by Philip Wylie and Edwin Balmer from 1933 & 1934.

Foundation would be like watching the newer Star Wars movies when they are debating in the senate......

Agreed.

“When Worlds Collide and the sequel After Worlds Collide by Philip Wylie and Edwin Balmer from 1933 & 1934.”

Saw the movie version of When Worlds Collide several times. George Pal wanted to make a film version of the sequel, but his career was slowing down at that point unfortunately. I read the book version of WWC. Not bad.
