Favy scifi novel?
For the broader team, it has to be Asimov's Foundation, and we've even written a blog post on the topic: https://foundationdevices.com/2021/09/bitcoin-asimovs-foundation/
@sethforprivacy here: Dune series has to be one of the best for me recently (I know I'm late to the party), but Neuromancer is another great imagination of a sci-fi future.
@zachherbert here: We intentionally named the company after the Foundation trilogy, but I also echo Seth's Dune recommendation + recently read Three Body Problem and it's incredible.

Read the article. Nice, makes sense. Good foundation!
I like the mentions of the Sovereign Individual. Reading that one now.

Ok, I want bonus sats for this question.
I read all your recommendations except the Three Body Problem.
My favies are: Dune, Neuromancer and Snow Crash.
I like the idea of Foundation that this idea spans out across the ages. I only read the first installment. Do you reckon I should read the rest?
Gonna read your article. ty

Definitely read the rest of the Foundation novels! They are truly excellent.
One thing to point out – the company name is based loosely on the first Foundation novel, not the sequels. Turns out there's more than one Foundation 🤫

Which is in the first book, right?
There's like a sister planet on the other side of the galaxy.
