The failure of Foundation is a lost opportunity for Apple
Description
Stories that last through the ages aren’t just great storytelling, they also serve the power structures of their time. Powerful people have always patronised great stories. The epic poem Beowulf, The Divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri, the plays of William Shakespeare, were all supported by powerful patrons. Now the most powerful corporation in the world has decided to patronise a $500 million production of Isaac Asimov’s Foundation saga, a story that represents the values of our technocratic elite better than any other.
