The first book in the Foundation series, a famous work of science fiction by Isaac Asimov
The Galactic Empire has been supreme for twelve millennia. It's dying now. The only person who can see into the future, however, is Hari Seldon, the pioneer of the groundbreaking science of psychohistory, who predicts a thirty thousand-year period of ignorance, savagery, and violence. Seldon takes the brightest scientists and academics in the Empire to a desolate planet on the edge of the galaxy in order to preserve knowledge and save humanity. This world will act as a beacon of hope for future generations. He refers to the Foundation as his haven.
