The foundation trilogy by isaac asimov6/20/2023 ![]() Using a field of science called Psycho-history, which predicts group behaviors, Hari Seldon forsees the coming collapse, and the 30,000 years of chaos and anarchy that will follow, and establishes The Foundation at the outer rim of the galaxy to guide mankind through these dark times, thereby reducing the duration of the dark times to 1,000 years. The focus is not on character, but on ideas and concepts, as is common with fix-up SF which was originally written for magazine publication.įoundation (book 1) The Galactic Empire of the human race is in the early stages of collapse. ![]() The quality of the prose is much higher than I expected, it is not overly flowery or descriptive, but still conveys a clear sense of place and is filled with sparkling dialog. It is easy to see how and why the strength of the ideas presented in this series have so powerfully informed all science fiction to follow. ![]() Coming into this series, the bit of Asimov I had read was not terribly impressive, so my expectations were not very high. ![]()
