Day 15: The Foundation Trilogy by Isaac Asimov

image
The seminal work of one of the greatest science fiction writers of all time. This is his opus magnum, the rival of his “I, Robot” works, and the foundational work in SF literature for the past sixty years. The books explore the fleeting, yet heroic lives of the people of the Foundation, an organization charged with reducing the anarchy and chaos in a galaxy after the decline and fall of the Galactic Empire to a thousand years instead of thirty and usher in the rise of a Second Empire. The books are classics and the ideas and concepts are thrilling to envision. The Foundation Trilogy proves that Asimov and science-fiction are not mutually exclusive.
