ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Prelude to Foundation by Isaac Asimov delves into the early days of mathematician Hari Seldon on the sprawling world of Trantor. Soon after his arrival, his theoretical work attracts the attention of Emperor Cleon I, who is intrigued by the possibility of predicting the future. This sets in motion a series of encounters and journeys across Trantor as Seldon, accompanied by historian Dors Venabili, navigates political complexities and seeks to lay the groundwork for a new science he calls psychohistory. The narrative explores themes of imperial decline, the power of prediction, the burden of knowledge, and the subtle forces shaping galactic events.
