In the declining years of a vast Galactic Empire, mathematician Hari Seldon races against time to perfect psychohistory -a revolutionary science that can predict the future of humanity and guide it through the coming dark age. Surrounded by political intrigue, personal loss, and the shadows of powerful enemies, Seldon and his loyal colleagues struggle to lay the foundations for a new civilization. Isaac Asimov’s Forward the Foundation is a poignant and intellectually gripping conclusion to his life’s work, exploring power, mortality, knowledge, and the enduring hope for humanity’s long-term survival.
