Foundation – Isaac Asimov’s landmark opening to one of science fiction’s most influential series, presented in this paperback edition. A calm, cerebral classic that treats history as a science, and civilisation as something fragile, vast, and profoundly human. For twelve thousand years, the Galactic Empire has ruled the stars — but its decline has already begun. Hari Seldon, a mathematician, develops a revolutionary science known as psychohistory, capable of predicting the broad movements of societies far into the future. His calculations reveal a coming collapse that will plunge the galaxy into chaos and darkness. Exiled to the remote planet of Terminus, Seldon establishes the Foundation: a community of scientists, scholars, and thinkers tasked with preserving knowledge and shortening the age of barbarism to come. As political pressures mount and old powers fade, the Foundation must survive through intellect, diplomacy, and foresight rather than force. Foundation unfolds through a series of interconnected episodes, spanning generations, each revealing how ideas, institutions, and human ambition shape history. It is less concerned with individual heroes than with the long arc of civilisation itself. A measured, visionary novel that helped define modern science fiction. 📘 Format: Paperback♻️ Condition: New✍️ Author: Isaac Asimov📄 Number of pages: 240 🔍 Browse our Science Fiction Collection. ✅ Secure checkout 💳 Multiple payment options 🇬🇧 UK-based support 👉 See Delivery Times 👉 See Refund/Returns Policy Affordable UK Bookstore Got a question, request, or just want to say hello?
