Foundation 3-Book Bundle
$22

Isaac Asimov is an intellectual force of nature who brought AI into the cultural perception of 20th century. I mean, he literally invented the word "robotics". Many also call him the godfather of science fiction.

Whilst the Foundation series was written 1951, he already grasped so many things about the futur that his sci-fi doesn't even "feel" like old sci-fi. But The Foundation series goes beyond scifi: it's probably more useful to a aociology education than any textbook on sociology. It could serve as a TEXTBOOK FOR HISTORY even though it's ABOUT THE FUTURE. And to wrap things up in hyperboles: for me, this work of fiction constitutes a philosophical classic, very much on the same level as ancient Greek or modern-day German philosophers do. I actually believe Asimov will be regarded the same way centures and millenia from now.

For twelve thousand years the Galactic Empire has ruled supreme. Now it is dying. 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. 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. He calls his sanctuary the Foundation.

One of the most influential in the history of science fiction, the Foundation series is celebrated for its unique blend of breathtaking action, daring ideas, and extensive worldbuilding. Here, Asimov has written a timely and timeless saga 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.
