Elon Musk discusses his favourite Novels, which includes The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien and The Foundation series by Isaac Asimov.
Elon Musk: "I mean Lord of the Rings is probably my favourite book. It's not really Sci-fi. In fact, like oddly enough J.R.R. Tolkien was kind of anti-technology."
Student: "Sci-fi and Fantasy are often, like, bedfellows."
Elon Musk: "Yeah, it is, but like, it's funny I thought Lord of the Rings was an awesome book, but it's kind of anti-technology, still great. And, but I think The Foundation series from Asimov is like a really, like one of the best ever. And, you know, the books - Arthur C. Clarke and
Heinlein, you know those are like sort of the three best Sci-fi authors. And recently someone was recommending to me the Iain Banks novels as being fairly good."
