I've never read those so I couldn't tell you. Asimov's Foundation series on Apple TV was great though.
Arthur C. Clarke was always my favorite sci-fi author. Rendezvous With Rama, Childhood's End, and 2001 are probably his best but some of the short stories he wrote were pretty good too. -

the great crash/depression book is quite interesting. our modern curse of " credit" came from 2 guys involved in the then exploding car industry, with a parallel development in the stock market, which, for all purposes, was incredibly unregulated.
the only negative on the book is that sorkin did the 'kitchen remodeling' approach: he has soooooo many characters in the narrative that its like a pynchon novel. -
