Isaac Asimov’s Foundation is a sci-fi classic that takes you on a journey through the rise and fall of a galactic empire. Enter Hari Seldon, a brilliant mathematician who develops “psychohistory,” a science that predicts the future based on mass social trends. His prediction: the fall of the Galactic Empire and a dark age spanning 30,000 years.

Seldon’s solution: the Foundation. This secretive institute, located on the remote planet Terminus, aims to preserve knowledge and technology, shortening the dark age to a mere 1,000 years. The story unfolds through a series of interconnected novellas, following the Foundation’s struggles and triumphs as it navigates a galaxy in turmoil.

In conclusion; Foundation faces opposition from rival empires and misunderstandings within. But through cunning leadership, scientific advancements, and a touch of manipulation, the Foundation gradually establishes itself as a beacon of hope in a chaotic era.
