No, I didn't forget it. I just went with Dr. Asimov's original 1942 thinking.

Met him once, What a brain.

Wow. I’d have loved to meet him. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire Foundation series, even after it got repetitive. The whole series in still in my bookshelf. I think I’m going to re-read some of it, just because it’s there.

What a prolific writer, and versatile thinker. Pity he was somewhat left of centre, but that is beside the point.

Oh, I remember now that it was R. Daneel Olivaw, not R. Giskard, that came up with the zeroth law, FWIW.

Thanks for the memory twig.
