Forward the Foundation

Isaac Asimov's last novel, published in 1993, the year after his death, follows Hari Seldon over several decades as he works to turn psychohistory into a usable science and prepares the ground for the Foundation. In four connected parts, Seldon becomes First Minister of the Empire, contends with political plots and loses people close to him, while the Empire around him continues to decline. An epilogue leads directly into the opening of the original Foundation.

Elon Musk: “Asimov was amazing. His Foundation books were an inspiration for the need to make life multiplanetary while civilization is still strong.”
