Isaac Asimov's Foundation series of novels, one of the masterpieces of science fiction, is unrivalled for its unique combination of relentless action, bold ideas and a sweeping picture of the world. The story of our future begins with the story of the Foundation and its greatest psychohistorian, Gary Seldon.

The Galactic Empire is on the verge of decline. Millennia of barbarism and wars lie ahead. It is impossible to avoid this horror, but there is a chance to shorten the period of ruin. Psychohistorian Gary Seldon knows how to do it. It is he who convinces the emperor to create the Foundation, a treasury of humanity's achievements that will begin the birth of a new majestic empire. Seldon's plan works, but the thirst for power and money becomes an obstacle to the development of society. Will the scientist's successors be able to steer the course of history in the right direction?
