Forward The Foundation!

Product Information

Except for his granddaughter Wanda, Seldon is alone in his fight to keep the project going in the face of the Galactic Empire's accelerating decline and lessening government support.

Agis becomes a friend to Seldon during the years of his reign, until he mysteriously "disappears" at the hand of the Commission of Public Safety, which replaces Agis with a puppet Emperor while they become the true power behind the throne. Ultimately, it is clear that Asimov wanted to tie up all the loose ends and fully explain the origins of the Foundations—and in particular, the psychic powers of the Second Foundationers. This one has a hurried feel to it, almost as if Asimov knew that his time was drawing to an end, and he wanted it finished at all costs. Isaac Asimov (/ˈaɪzᵻk ˈæzᵻmɒv/; born Isaak Yudovich Ozimov; circa January 2, 1920 – April 6, 1992) was an American author and professor of biochemistry at Boston University, best known for his works of science fiction and for his popular science books. The last published Foundation book, written by Asimov (a few more titles written by other authors were published subsequently).The junta slowly pressures Hari into producing practical applications of psychohistory by threatening to cut off his funding, but Seldon resists, knowing both that psychohistory cannot yet give any useful data and that, in the hands of the junta, such a tool would either lose its worth or become misused. But rumors persist that the Second Foundation is not destroyed after all and that its still-defiant survivors are preparing their revenge.

Asimov was a long-time member and vice president of Mensa International, albeit reluctantly; he described some members of that organization as "brain-proud and aggressive about their IQs".

Overall, this was an extremely well done building up of the legend of Hari Seldon that both enriches and humanizes the character we come to love in Foundation. La literatura de Ciencia Ficción que leí los últimos años antes de entrar a la universidad me llevó a plantearme preguntas y considerar temas filosóficos que anteriormente me tenían sin cuidado.It's Asimov, it's a Foundation novel, albeit one written to join with his original Trilogy written 40 years earlier, so it's going to be good if you enjoy this type of Sci Fi.
