Asimov's "Foundation" in retrospective

If you had to summarize Isaac Asimov's novel "Prelude to Foundation" in today's terms:

The story of a Data Scientist named Hari Seldon and his quest for Labeled Data to train his new Machine Learning algorithm called Psychohistory.

Novel published more than 30 years ago!

I love the Foundation Trilogy.

I just hope Apple doesn't frak it up too much.

Also, Cliodynamics is, in many ways, very similar to Psychohistory in many regards.
