"When the Galactic Empire began to die, when the ends of the Galaxy reverted to barbarism and dropped away, Hari Seldon and his band of Encyclopedists planted a colony -- the Foundation -- to incubate art, science, and technology, and form the nucleus of the Second Empire. The course of the Foundation's growth was plotted according to the science of psychohistory -- conditions were arranged to bring about a series of crises forcing it to move rapidly along the route to future Empire." Covering nearly four centuries in the history of the Foundation, this classic trilogy is one of the most well known works of Isaac Asimov, arguably the most prolific writer of our time. Many of Asimov's works have been adapted into films, most recently I, Robot, starring Will Smith, which featured the Three Laws of Robotics invented by Asimov.
