Foundation (Asimov)... or rather 2021 "Woke Edition" by Apple

Wasn't aware of this, but looks like a masterpiece has been ruined.

Haven't read the books, but I read the comments on YT. I wouldn't even bother watching anything by Apple. I don't follow woke companies,

When they created Lord of the Rings, it was great. They followed the book mostly and really made it epic.  I have zero confidence they will follow the book or make it epic, or even do a fair job on this. It looks like they are trying to make a name for themselves and gather more into the cult of Steve Jobs.

If LOTR was made today it would be garbage. I should go watch LOTR. It's been collecting dust for a long time.

Yes, and you should

Not even the trailer was interesting.

 

Music crescendo, scifi scenery, fade out, vague comment about destiny, rinse, repeat. Even had time to throw in how "caring" Apple is!

In looking for info abbot the Apple Foundation I entered in the search bar "Apples Woke Foundation" and I found this thread.

THANK YOU. 

About the only things they got right was a character named Harry Seldon, that it was male. There was a galactic empire and a planet called terminus. The rest of the story is all claptrap BS.

I pulled up my old mp3 files of the Foundation audiobook and listened to it again. 

Who thought it was a good idea to steal A.C. Clarks space elevator and put it into Foundation as "the space bridge"?

Cloned emperors, a robot working in the open and on and on.

Thank God they didn't do this to Lord Of The Rings.
