Description de l’éditeur
The story of our future begins with the Foundation.
Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read
For twelve thousand years the Galactic Empire has ruled supreme. Now it is dying. Only Hari Seldon, creator of the revolutionary science of psychohistory, can see into the future—a dark age of ignorance, barbarism, and warfare that will last thirty thousand years. To preserve knowledge and save humanity, Seldon gathers the best minds in the Empire—both scientists and scholars—and brings them to a bleak planet at the edge of the galaxy to serve as a beacon of hope for future generations. He calls this sanctuary the Foundation.
But soon the fledgling Foundation finds itself at the mercy of corrupt warlords rising in the wake of the receding Empire. And mankind’s last best hope is faced with an agonizing choice: submit to the barbarians and live as slaves—or take a stand for freedom and risk total destruction.
Avis des utilisateurs
A beautiful start to a saga
The story is well thought out, and very strong narrative uses. A bit similar as time goes on but the situations characters find themselves in make sense and a pleasure.
The narrator fits the style of story. I felt it sounded official but not too dry. I enjoyed his performance of the material.
Fantastic book, terrible audiobook
In the manner of Isaac Asimov, I will be economical with the details: this is a fantastic book well worth reading, but the audiobook’s narrator is comically terrible.
It’s a short book, just read it for yourself until a new audiobook production comes out.

Foundation book 1
The narrator has an annoying tone in his voice. Better to read the book.
