The show was not great, but the epic premise is awesome. So I thought I’d just go read the books, assuming the source material was the good stuff.

But wow, turns out Asimov can’t write a decent paragraph. The story and ideas are buried under page after page of cringeworthy dialogue and pointless descriptions of gee whiz gadgets.
