It is the year 12,020 G.E. and Emperor Cleon I sits uneasily on the Imperial throne of Trantor. Here in the great multidomed capital of the Galactic Empire, forty billion people have created a civilization of unimaginable technological and cultural complexity. Yet Cleon knows there are those who would see him fall - those whom he would destroy if only he could read the future.

Hari Seldon has come to Trantor to deliver his paper on psychohistory, his remarkable theory of prediction. Little does the young Outworld mathematician know that he has already sealed his fate and the fate of humanity. For Hari possesses the prophetic power that makes him the most wanted man in the Empire... the man who holds the key to the future - an apocalyptic power to be know forever after as the Foundation.

Asimov consistência

Baita livro, com toda a criatividade de sempre mas dessa vez costurando tudo com centenas de anos no futuro.

O livro é maravilhoso para quem leu o que vem depois na ordem de publicação (como eu), principalmente pelo passeio por Trantor e sua diversidade. Não sei qual seria a impressão de alguém que o lê apenas por esse livro. Pra mim Asimov é o autor mais viciante que tem pra ler.
