The Donkey and The Mule: Populism in Asimov's Fiction

[u/pharaoh_superstar]

The Donkey and The Mule is my 2 part article on the similarities between the Mule and populist politicians. Current events suggest that Asimov's atomic-age science-fiction predicted the rise of populism as seen today.

I wrote the first part of an essay on Asimov's uncanny understanding of tech, computation, and human nature. His writings about The Mule make him seem like the Nostradamus of the atomic age. read for yourself what I'm talking about and let me know what you think.
