By Isaac Asimov
The original trilogy of Isaac Asimov’s bestselling science fiction masterpiece, the Foundation series, in a striking boxed set package.
THE EPIC SAGA THAT INSPIRED THE APPLE TV+ SERIES FOUNDATION • Nominated as one of America’s best-loved series by PBS’s The Great American Read
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 humankind, 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 future generations. He calls his sanctuary the Foundation.
Collected in this boxed set, Foundation, Foundation and Empire, and Second Foundation form the celebrated original trilogy that started it all. One of the most influential in the history of science fiction, the Foundation series is celebrated for its unique blend of breathtaking action, daring ideas, and extensive worldbuilding.
Here, Asimov has written a timely and timeless saga of the best—and worst—that lies in humanity, and the power of even a few courageous souls to shine a light in a universe of darkness.
🔭 From the Desk of Paul Bracken:
"We offer the individual paperbacks for those looking to fill a gap in their collection, but there is something incredibly satisfying about having the complete original Foundation trilogy together in one beautiful set. These three books lay the groundwork for so much of modern science fiction, spanning tens of thousands of years and stretching across the entire Milky Way. If you've never read Asimov, or if you're looking for the absolute perfect gift for the space enthusiast in your life, this is it. It’s an epic journey that deserves a prime spot on any stargazer's bookshelf."
