Only Hari Seldon, creator of the revolutionary science of psychohistory, can see into the futureb7sa dark age of ignorance, barbarism, and warfare that will last thirty thousand years. To preserve knowledge and save mankind, Seldon gathers the best minds in the Empireb7sboth scientists and scholarsb7sand brings them to a bleak planet at the edge of the Galaxy to serve as a beacon of hope for future generations. He calls his sanctuary the Foundation. But soon the fledgling Foundation finds itself at the mercy of corrupt warlords rising in the wake of the receding Empire. And mankindb2ss last best hope is faced with an agonizing choice: submit to the barbarians and live as slavesb7sor take a stand for freedom and risk total destruction.
