Fundacion es el tercer volumen del Ciclo de la Fundacion , pero tambien la primera parte de la original Trilogia de la Fundacion o Ciclo de Trantor , que puede leerse independientemente y que fue galardonada con el Premio Hugo a la mejor serie de ciencia ficcion de todos los tiempos.
Desde hace doce mil anos el hombre se ha dispersado por los planetas de la galaxia, unificada alrededor de un Imperio pacifico cuya capital es la majestuosa ciudad de Trantor. El sistema funciono y prospero durante incontables generaciones, pero ahora se ha convertido en el centro de todas las intrigas y en simbolo de la corrupcion imperial. Solamente Hari Seldon, creador de la psicohistoria -la ciencia revolucionaria que se basa en el estudio matematico de los hechos historicos-, fue capaz de prever el derrumbamiento del Imperio y el retorno a la barbarie durante varios milenios.
Tratando de minimizar los efectos de esta catastrofe, Seldon reune a las mentes mas brillantes del Imperio y establece dos Fundaciones en ambos extremos de la galaxia. Fundacion narra la historia de la primera.
