It became one of my favorite series, even liking book 4 and 5 from 1982 and ’86 most – back then because of their scientific-mystical all-is-one slant.
So I dove into its canon, and the Foundation series became the first thing I read after I gobbled up Iain M. Some Culture novels by Banks followed, and I became enamored with science fiction as genre. About 14 years ago a friend recommended me Anathem by Neil Stephenson, and I’ve been back at reading fiction since. For Hari possesses the prophetic power that makes him the most wanted man in the Empire.the man who holds the key to the future - an apocalyptic power to be known forever after as the Foundation.For about a decade I didn’t read any fiction. Little does the young Outworld mathematician know that he has already sealed his fate and the fate of humanity.
Hari Seldon has come to Trantor to deliver his paper on psychohistory, his remarkable theory of prediction. Yet Cleon knows there are those who would see him fall - those whom he would destroy if only he could read the future. Here in the great multidomed capital of the Galactic Empire, 40 billion people have created a civilization of unimaginable technological and cultural complexity. It is the year 12,020 GE and Emperor Cleon I sits uneasily on the Imperial throne of Trantor. Unsurpassed for their unique blend of nonstop action, bold ideas, and extensive world-building, they chronicle the struggle of a courageous group of people to save civilization from a relentless tide of darkness and violence - beginning with one exceptional man. This daring story of humanity’s future introduces one of the great masterworks of science fiction: the Foundation novels of Isaac Asimov.
