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.

評分其實也不能算是純粹低科幻小說啦
評分牛逼
評分開頭生詞很多, 本想做休閑讀物結果失敗. 後幾部分好些.

帝国正在衰亡,科学家(心理史学)哈里,谢顿,根据自己的方程式,预测到帝国的灭亡,而人类要经历三万年的蛮荒岁月,第二帝国才会自废墟中崛起。但是,若能修正某些现有的历史条件,“大断层”或可减至一千年。为了达到这个目的,谢顿建立了端点科学基地与川陀“隐修院...
評分此书确实是最值得一读的科幻作品。 作为科幻书籍,要想历久弥新非常不容易。毕竟科技在发展,作品中描写的新科技也许已经成为现实甚至过时。至于庞大的星际战争与政治争霸,在其他类作品中屡见不鲜,甚至历史本身比描写更加精彩,更加不可思议。所以更显示出此书的不凡。 作品...
評分刚看过的那篇小说,里面有个说法很有趣,虽然是男人恭维女人的话,然而能做到如此别致有见地的恭维,也是难得呢。 你在我眼里是一个没有年龄的女人,有时从容淡定,好像历尽风霜;有时又慌里慌张,不知所措的样子,好像是一个从未离开过父母的小丫头;还有你对世界充满着好奇...
評分个人认为,本书是阿西莫夫基地系列中最好的一本。 势力均衡、宗教、资本主义——这哪里是科幻,分明就是作者对历史的重构。抛开谢顿计划的历史决定论的外衣,谢顿计划下的各个英雄人物仍然是以个人的自由意志,以局部优化的方法论,而非乌托邦的宏伟蓝图,推动着历史的发展。...
