<p>There were three authors who were considered the Big Three in the
Golden age: Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, and Robert A. Heinlein. We
will look at all three, but this episode is a look at Asimov, from his
beginnings to the writing of his most famous work, the Foundation
series. We will see what this series was saying in its original form of
the Foundation Trilogy, then at the expansion of the series in the 1980s
when Asimov took it up again. We will also mention the trilogy assigned
to three other writers in the late 1990s, and to the audio and video
adaptations.</p>
