Prelude to Foundation

   The sequels are definitely weaker, but still worth reading. I enjoyed Prelude to Foundation. I disliked Foundation's Edge because I didn't agree with the fate of mankind as envisioned by Asimov :/

   I think Prelude to Foundation could of been a nice mini-series, but overall Asimov's works are just too fragmented to hold up to being a series really.

   Mycogeny: the formation of a mycoplasma within a cell "mycogeny was detected in liver urine and its recovery in lymph nodes remained unclear"

   It’s not too far off Mycogen: As Asimov explains in Prelude to Foundation,[21] their name is formed from the Greek stems myco- (meaning 'yeast' or other types of fungi) and -gen (meaning 'maker' or 'producer').

   As a fictional example, in Asimov's "Prelude to Foundation" one of the locations (Dahl, a geothermal power district) offset the sweltering heat by running dimmer, reddish lighting, which apparently had a psychological effect on the inhabitants' perception of temperature.

   In real life, I wouldn't be surprised if offices choose to run high-colour-temperature lights in order to keep workers more awake and less drowsy (the exact effect that software like F.lux tries to offset).

   > Hari Seldon, hero of Isaac Asimov's Foundation series, was deliberately put into a wide variety of situations

   This refers to the books Prelude to Foundation (1988) and Forward the Foundation (1993).
