Samenvatting

The first of two prequel novels in Isaac Asimov’s classic science-fiction masterpiece, the Foundation series

THE EPIC SAGA THAT INSPIRED THE APPLE TV+ SERIES FOUNDATION

It is the year 12,020 G.E. and Emperor Cleon I sits uneasily on the Imperial throne of Trantor. Here in the great multidomed capital of the Galactic Empire, forty billion people have created a civilization of unimaginable technological and cultural complexity. Yet Cleon knows there are those who would see him fall—those whom he would destroy if only he could read the future.

Hari Seldon has come to Trantor to deliver his paper on psychohistory, his remarkable theory of prediction. Little does the young Outworld mathematician know that he has already sealed his fate and the fate of humanity. For Hari possesses the prophetic power that makes him the most wanted man in the Empire . . . the man who holds the key to the future—an apocalyptic power to be known forever after as the Foundation.

  • First prequel of the original Foundation trilogy

    The last two Foundation novels written by Asimov are prequels to the original Foundation trilogy and ‘Prelude to Foundation’ is the first of these. Although they are prequels it is strongly advised to read them only after having read the Foundation trilogy and its sequels, the reason being that the prequels will probably greatly reduce the enjoyment of the other Foundation novels as they contain revelations that will remove most of the mysticism and surprise that would be experienced by someone reading the books in the order that they were imagined by Asimov.

    ‘Prelude to Foundation’ tells the story of how psychohistory came to Hari Seldon. When the 32 year old Seldon demonstrates the theoretical feasibility of the science of psychohistory the political leaders of Trantor immediately recognize the potential importance of this finding. All spring into action to obtain control of psychohistory and of Seldon, with or without his consent. What follows is a period in Seldon’s life referred to as The Flight. This is an adequate novel with decent characterization and writing. Nonetheless, to people that are familiar with Asimov’s other Foundation novels the mere decency may come as a slight disappointment. After the other Foundation and Robot novels, all detailing such epic and crucial episodes in the development of mankind’s role in the Galaxy, the story of ‘Prelude to Foundation’ will seem somewhat irrelevant and only of political importance. Moreover, it is a little predictable, since anyone that has read ‘Robots and Empire’ and ‘Foundation’ will be able to fill in most of the blanks. As a result the story remains a bit flat with the tension level never growing very high. The casual reader may safely skip these prequels without missing out on much crucial information. Despite it all ‘Prelude to Foundation’ is nonetheless a decent novel and for dedicated fans of the series it will provide nice background information as well as an enjoyable character sketch of Seldon.
