For twelve thousand years the Galactic Empire has ruled supreme. Now it is dying. But only Hari Seldon, creator of the revolutionary science of psychohistory, can see into the future -- to a dark age of ignorance, barbarism, and warfare that will last thirty thousand years. To preserve knowledge and save mankind, Seldon gathers the best minds in the Empire -- both scientists and scholars -- and brings them to a bleak planet at the edge of the Galaxy to serve as a beacon of hope for a future generations. He calls his sanctuary the Foundation.
But soon the fledgling Foundation finds itself at the mercy of corrupt warlords rising in the wake of the receding Empire. Mankind's last best hope is faced with an agonizing choice: submit to the barbarians and be overrun -- or fight them and be destroyed.

Isaac Asimov was a Russian-born, American author, a professor of biochemistry, and a highly successful writer, best known for his works of science fiction and for his popular science books.
Professor Asimov is generally considered one of the most prolific writers of all time, having written or edited more than 500 books and an estimated 90,000 letters and postcards. He has works published in nine of the ten major categories of the Dewey Decimal System (lacking only an entry in the 100s category of Philosophy).
Asimov is widely considered a master of the science-fiction genre and, along with Robert A. Heinlein and Arthur C. Clarke, was considered one of the "Big Three" science-fiction writers during his lifetime. Asimov's most famous work is the Foundation Series; his other major series are the Galactic Empire series and the Robot series, both of which he later tied into the same fictional universe as the Foundation Series to create a unified "future history" for his stories much like those pioneered by Robert A. Heinlein and previously produced by Cordwainer Smith and Poul Anderson. He penned numerous short stories, among them "Nightfall", which in 1964 was voted by the Science Fiction Writers of America the best short science fiction story of all time, a title many still honor. He also wrote mysteries and fantasy, as well as a great amount of nonfiction. Asimov wrote the Lucky Starr series of juvenile science-fiction novels using the pen name Paul French.
Most of Asimov's popularized science books explain scientific concepts in a historical way, going as far back as possible to a time when the science in question was at its simplest stage. He often provides nationalities, birth dates, and death dates for the scientists he mentions, as well as etymologies and pronunciation guides for technical terms. Examples include his Guide to Science, the three volume set Understanding Physics, and Asimov's Chronology of Science and Discovery.
Asimov was a long-time member and Vice President of Mensa International, albeit reluctantly; he described some members of that organization as "brain-proud and aggressive about their IQs" He took more joy in being president of the American Humanist Association. The asteroid 5020 Asimov, the magazine Asimov's Science Fiction, a Brooklyn, NY elementary school, and two different Isaac Asimov Awards are named in his honor.

欧洲历史的缩微再现。英雄,自觉或不自觉把握住时代脉搏的人,自愿成为世界精神的仆人。

回顾和补完。读到最后作者小传的时候突然又感动又开心,伟大的人。

没失望。喜欢这种大开大合的叙事,不以幻想取胜,科技也不是重点(大部分科技在现在来看已经不足为奇,但放在80年前,这些想法真的很可以)。世界观宏大,格局也赞。虽然科幻很软。情节也挺简单,正邪完美对立,稍微有一点幼稚。 几段危机化解里,最喜欢Hardin,有气魄有能力。合纵连横。还有所谓的the religion of science,君权神授。加上后面的经济统治。像是整个梳理了一遍人类社会的发展历程... 没失望。喜欢这种大开大合的叙事,不以幻想取胜,科技也不是重点(大部分科技在现在来看已经不足为奇,但放在80年前,这些想法真的很可以)。世界观宏大,格局也赞。虽然科幻很软。情节也挺简单,正邪完美对立,稍微有一点幼稚。 几段危机化解里,最喜欢Hardin,有气魄有能力。合纵连横。还有所谓的the religion of science,君权神授。加上后面的经济统治。像是整个梳理了一遍人类社会的发展历程。 作者强调历史的必然性,忽略历史英雄,把目光放在经济和社会的发展上,让我联想到托在战和里的唠唠叨叨(笑)。 心理史学设定为可以做这么前瞻的预测也是叹为观止。 另外,想看《罗马帝国衰亡史》₍ᐢ •⌄• ᐢ₎。 (展开)

因为看过中文版,情节上就是复习啦,这部的难点在于单词。

怎么也没想要会在一本美国科幻小说里读到老子的无为而治的实践。哈哈哈哈

以2024年的眼光看好像很多危机已经发生在了现实世界,不知道当时有多震撼

读完第三本,补一下第一本的标记。鸿篇巨制由此发端(虽然从写作顺序上好像并非如此)!太棒了!

看了两个多月,完全看不明白,对自己的英语水平极其不自信ing。这一本看完就拉倒了,剩下6本再见。

【拾遗】点子很牛,但文笔不太好。心理史学放在现在仍不算过时。
