[ale] WAY OT: Remembering a book

[Lightner, Jeff]

This sounds a little like the Foundation Trilogy of books (which later had at least one more book) by Isaac Asimov.

In that someone named Harry Seldon as I recall designed society and used something called psychohistory to predict what its major crises would be over time.   That was the main society.  It turned out in one of the books that he had actually setup two societies with the other being one more involved in the mind and it was used to bring the first society back into plan when unforeseen events occurred.   It’s been years since I read them.

Ever try to think of a book you read 20+ years ago that you can't remember the author or title?

For a couple weeks I've been trying to remember the name/title of a book I must have read in college or high school.  It was about a society that split in two, one high tech and one low tech concerned with the mind.  The low tech disappeared and they left a hint (I believe) they could be found at the other end of the universe.

Not sure why I want to find it but I can't get the bloody thing out of my head until I find it.
