Isn't 'The Currents of Space' the second book of that series (following 'The Stars, Like Dust') ?

I've started the first one several times but never finished it for some reason... I live Asimov, but like Clarke, the books are so small they don't really allow for a lot of plot building. I'm the same way about visual media too. I can't watch movies anymore, they don't allow for long, detailed, plot progression of a TV series.

Yeah I found that out afterwards. Each book of that series isn't connected as far as I can tell. Each follows a different main character.

I don't enjoy movies they just kinda feel like a waste of time for me. I just have a hard time motivating myself to watch a 2+ hour thing feels like all movies are that length now.
