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A 21-year-old Asimov wrote this book. A feast of thoughts and visions.
早就知道阿西莫夫写的这套科幻小说开一代先河经典难撼,一直无缘。出了中文版后嫌贵耗了一个多月,还是没忍住出手了。原来担心翻译质量,看完了觉得还挺满意,除了对台湾式的译名和遣词用句略有不适外,其他也没什么可挑剔的了。 小说的内容绝对精彩,虽然成书时间早(第一篇发...
評分1)之前正式出版的基地系列中文简体版,是叶李华先生最早的译本,是他在学生时代译的。 2)十年后,叶李华又重新修订了一遍,改正了很多错漏之处,这便是台湾2005~2007之间出的译本。我们这次出版的2012年中文简体译本,就是以这个译本为基础的。 关于这个译本的介绍,详情请...
評分终于把基地系列的三本都看完了,这本虽然是第一本,但也是最喜欢的。喜欢开头对世界的铺垫,还有中间跳跃发展的历史,每个人物的性格都很生动。 觉得构思和情节出人意料但是又都很合理。而且感觉很大气。科学技术方面的构想现在看来似乎有点问题,不过还是可以接受的。觉得阿西...
評分内容不说了,基地系列是阿西莫夫作品中最经典的作品之一,推荐是冲内容给的,但是这版翻译和排版没看,不知道如何。所以没有给力荐。 但是如果只看这版封面可以直接给负分。彻底雷了,和这四个人有毛关系?上面两个说明“银河帝国”下面两个强调“基地”么?脑残真是没治,重...
