Publisher Description
The first of two prequel novels in Isaac Asimov’s classic science-fiction masterpiece, the Foundation series
THE EPIC SAGA THAT INSPIRED THE APPLE TV+ SERIES FOUNDATION
It is the year 12,020 G.E. and Emperor Cleon I sits uneasily on the Imperial throne of Trantor. Here in the great multidomed capital of the Galactic Empire, forty billion people have created a civilization of unimaginable technological and cultural complexity. Yet Cleon knows there are those who would see him fall—those whom he would destroy if only he could read the future.
Hari Seldon has come to Trantor to deliver his paper on psychohistory, his remarkable theory of prediction. Little does the young Outworld mathematician know that he has already sealed his fate and the fate of humanity. 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.
Customer Reviews
Great Audioboook
I really enjoyed this audiobook and I cannot wait to listen to the next one in the Foundation series.
Totally engrossing!
Incredible world design & character development! Kept me wanting more. I am going to follow Asimov’s recommended reading order, as described in the “Author’s Note” at the beginning, and go back & start the entire series with “The Complete Robot”. So thankful to have his chronological ‘roadmap’ 🙌 What a gift of an epic he left for us & future generations! I hope if someone decides to take it all, or a part of it on as a series of movies, that they really do it justice! It deserves the best!
