Caves of Steel (1953) and Naked Sun (1956) are technically vastly better than the 3 empire novels (1950-52). Remarkable to see his rapid evolution as a novelist but more importantly as a world builder.

Rereading Pebble in the Sky. Not a great book but it has a certain uniquely poignant feel to it, by virtue of being approximately the middle book of Asimoverse. The robot past and Foundation future are equally distant in time, and the story has a certain expansive solitude to it.
