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.

THE EPIC SAGA THAT INSPIRED THE APPLE TV+ SERIES FOUNDATION, NOW STREAMING * Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read

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.

The Foundation novels of Isaac Asimov are among the most influential in the history of science fiction, celebrated for their unique blend of breathtaking action, daring ideas, and extensive worldbuilding. In Asimov has written a timely and timeless novel 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.
