The stories, written between 19, were collected as the Foundation trilogy: Foundation (1951), Foundation and Empire (1952), and Second Foundation (1953). The Foundation struggles to keep civilization alive, while, at moments of acute crisis predicted by psychohistory, recordings of the long-dead Seldon dispense advice. Seldon also establishes a mysterious Second Foundation in an unknown location.
He sets into motion a plan to reduce the predicted 30,000-year galactic dark ages to 1,000 years by gathering the brightest minds on the planet Terminus to form the Foundation of a new Galactic Empire. Hari Seldon devises a discipline, “psychohistory,” that allows prediction of future historical currents.
Loosely modeled on the fall of the Roman Empire, the Foundation series begins in the last days of the Galactic Empire. “The Encyclopedists” (1942) was the beginning of Asimov’s popular Foundation series.
