    And by Salvor Hardin you mean VAR Hari Seldon

    I realised the anagram a few days ago. I tried to find information about this on the internet but couldn’t find any. I can’t remember if it’s mentioned in the books but it can’t be a coincidence.

    Also, yes. Salvor definitely will save the day.

        True, but my guess is that Asimov removed a silent e in Salvor(e) Hardin(e) to make the anagram less obvious.
