The writer I am sprang from the boy that these books touched back then. His vision and scope spanned the galaxy across eons, and at the same time he told deeply personal stories of living characters. “Asimov’s Foundation trilogy was the pivotal touchstone of my life in creative fiction. “Quite simply, Asimov got me started.” -Liz Williams If you’ve never read these novels, then you’re in for a treat, and even if you’ve already read them, then you owe it to yourself to reread them, because they’re still great.” -Allen Steele “The Foundation series is one of the masterpieces of science fiction. “If anything can be said to have been the launch pad for space-age science fiction, it has to be the Foundation trilogy. “With his fertile imagination, his wit, and his prolific output, Isaac Asimov truly laid the foundation for all future generations of science fiction writers.” -Kevin J.
There’s a reason Asimov’s name comes first, and not just because of the alphabet!” -Janis Ian “I grew up on the ABC’s of science fiction-Asimov, Bradbury, Clarke. With the Robot stories and the Foundation stories, he helped to shape science fiction as we know it.” -Jack Williamson Campbell back in the famous ‘golden age of science fiction,’ he became one of the founders of our field. “Isaac was still in his teens when I met him, a fan of mine before I was a fan of his. To this day, his visions spice our ongoing dinner-table conversation about human destiny.” -David Brin “Asimov served wondrous meals-of-the-mind to a civilization that was starved for clear thinking about the future. “A true polymath, a superb rationalist, an exciting and accessible writer in both fiction and nonfiction, Isaac Asimov was simply a master of all he surveyed.” -Greg Bear Praise for Isaac Asimov and his Foundation series In Foundation, Asimov has written a timely and timeless novel of the best-and worst-that lies in humanity, and the power of even a few courageous souls to shine a light in a universe of darkness. The Foundation novels of Isaac Asimov are among the most influential in the history of science fiction, celebrated for their unique blend of breathtaking action, daring ideas, and extensive worldbuilding. To preserve knowledge and save humankind, Seldon gathers the best minds in the Empire-both scientists and scholars-and brings them to a bleak planet at the edge of the galaxy to serve as a beacon of hope for future generations.
But only Hari Seldon, creator of the revolutionary science of psychohistory, can see into the future-to a dark age of ignorance, barbarism, and warfare that will last thirty thousand years.
