> but there's no robot war in Asimov's foundation iirc, the apple screenwriters made it up

There isn't in the early Foundation novels, but Azimov spent much of the later part of his career combining/retconning all of his work into a single universe - "Robots and Empire" links the foundation series to the robot series, and the subsequent foundation novels all reference the connection

As a big fan of the whole Foundation saga, I don't remember any wars in "Robots and Empire" 3 books. Granted, those were the only books I've read only once (and a long time ago), but I'm pretty sure there was no war.

That's fair, the books portray it as a quiet withdrawal from humanity, rather than a war with humanity

The way the most recent season of the show ended it looks like humanity may have been misled about the war, so it may end up fitting that more closely once they're done (I haven't read any of the books, just going on your comment).

robots sure, but I remember no robot wars.

I'd be happy to be corrected! It's been many years and I may have missed some books anywauy.
