Product details

Winner of the Hugo Award for Best All-Time Series

The Foundation series is Isaac Asimov's iconic masterpiece. Set against the backdrop of a crumbling galactic empire, the story of Hari Seldon's two Foundations unfolds, serving as a lasting testament to an extraordinary imagination that has shaped science fiction as we know it today.

In a time before the Foundations, the creator of psychohistory, Hari Seldon, is summoned before the emperor of the decaying galactic empire to present how his scientific theory of predicting the future could be applied in the real world.

However, Hari refuses to use his theory for political purposes and instead embarks on a quest with reporter Chetter Hummin to find a place where he can safely apply his theory: Earth, the original home of humanity.

All records of Earth have been lost over time. Therefore, Hari will have to look into the past to secure the future of humanity forever.
