Man discovers dialectic materialism, universe proceeds to spend the next several millennia proving him correct.

I thought these were by Isaac Asimov

Edit: oh shit you mean the art lmao

[-] ChaosMaterialist@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago

LMAO, I totally would make that mistake too! che-laugh

Foundation rips and so do these.

Definitely! I feel these three novels in particular show the Asimov turns (setup, subversion, double-subvert) very well, and the cover art captures that essence somehow.

I feel like I'm seeing the arrow in the FedEx logo for the first time.

If we're throwing out Asimov recommendations I highly suggest his scathing review of 1984
