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.
did i miss something ? Salvor Hardin does not have an e in it so how can it be an anagram to hari sEldon ?
True, but my guess is that Asimov removed a silent e in Salvor(e) Hardin(e) to make the anagram less obvious.
