More than fifty years after their original publication, the three Foundation novels stand as classics of thrilling, provocative, and inspired world-building. In 1966, the Foundation trilogy received a Hugo Award for Best All-Time Series, and it remains the only fiction series to have been so honored. Gathering a band of courageous men and women, Seldon leads them to a hidden location at the edge of the galaxy, where he hopes they can preserve human knowledge and wisdom through the age of darkness. And it is the particular story of psychohistorian Hari Seldon, the only man who can see the horrors the future has in store-a dark age of ignorance, barbarism, and violence that will last for thirty thousand years. It is the saga of the Galactic Empire, crumbling after twelve thousand years of rule.

This is one of those stories that makes you wonder how a human could hold all of it in their head. So this was my first sci-fi and I haven’t looked back (at other genres) since.
