Første bind i science fiction trilogi om en berømt matematiker der har profet

Seriens udgangspunkt er at den geniale matematiker Hari Seldon har udviklet en ny slags matematik – kaldet Psykohistorie – som kan forudsige fremtiden, men kun i store træk. Psykohistorie er ubrugelig for ting mindre end et helt planetsystem eller et intergalaktisk imperium.

Ved hjælp af denne nye matematik forudser Hari Seldon det galaktiske imperiums fald, efterfulgt af en formørket tid på 30.000 år, før et nyt imperium opstår. For at afkorte denne tid af barbari og formørkelse beslutter Seldon sig for at bruge sin psykohistoriske indsigt til at lave et nyt imperium viet til kunst, videnskab og teknologi ved at lave en alt-omspændende encyklopædi: Encyclopedia Galactica. Kort sagt alt det det gamle imperium var degenereret væk fra i magtbegær og regale traditioner.

Hari Seldon opretter så to Stiftelser (Foundations) i hver sin ende af galaksen, der på hver deres måde skal arbejde for at barbari perioden forkortes til kun 1000 år.

En Stiftelse skal være centrum for det nye imperium viet til kunst, videnskab og teknologi – mens den anden Stiftelse skal arbejde i det skjulte (ved hjælp af psykisk begavede individer) for at holde planen på sporet

I wouldn’t say that this first book in the "Foundation" trilogy is not good, though, what I would say for certain is that I don’t think I will be reading the next one. I’ve always have trouble reading old books; say from the sixties and backward. Sometimes I venture into some from Raymond Chandler or Fyodor Dostoyevsky, but most of the time the aftertaste comes in form of: I don’t really much care how people thought at time and in consequence, how they portrait the moral dilemmas, amongst other things, in their literature. In few words, I don’t feel a connection I feel for more contemporary authors such as Dennis Lehane(Crime) or William Gibson(SF). This is science fiction you think and it's based on a story that happens in the future, well, in spite of that I feel a disconnection just as I felt when reading “Crime and Punishment”(Fyodor Dostoyevsky) "Foundation" is a very fast-moving story about premonition and perhaps even fate in a distant galaxy. Characters pass by and are dumped very quickly, which was another problem I had with the book. Whenever I started to like someone he/she was taken away. Perhaps for the more die-hard science-fiction fanatics, but nor for me! Cheers Cristian
