Foundation by Isaac Asimov is the opening novel of the celebrated Foundation series and a cornerstone of modern science fiction. Set in a distant future where the vast Galactic Empire is on the verge of collapse, psychohistorian Hari Seldon develops a science that can predict the course of history. Foreseeing centuries of chaos, he creates the Foundation—a community of scientists and thinkers established at the edge of the galaxy to preserve knowledge and shorten the coming dark age. Blending politics, science, and human ambition, Asimov presents a sweeping vision of civilization, fate, and the struggle to shape the future.
