Foundation series
Publication history[edit] Original stories[edit] Foundation trilogy[edit] Later sequels and prequels[edit] In 1981, Asimov was persuaded by his publishers to write a fourth book, which became Foundation's Edge (1982).[3] Four years later, Asimov followed up with yet another sequel, Foundation and Earth (1986), which was followed by the prequels Prelude to Foundation (1988) and Forward the Foundation (1993). Plot[edit] Prelude to Foundation[edit] Prelude to Foundation opens on the planet Trantor, the empire's capital planet, the day after Hari Seldon has given a speech at a conference. Throughout their adventures all over Trantor, Seldon continuously denies that psychohistory is a realistic science. Forward the Foundation[edit] Eight years after the events of Prelude, Seldon has worked out the science of psychohistory and has applied it on a galactic scale. Foundation[edit] Once on Terminus, the inhabitants find themselves at a loss. Foundation and Empire[edit] Second Foundation[edit]

The End of Eternity Origins[edit] The novel reflects the state of scientific knowledge of its time, some of which has been superseded. For instance, the power source for the time travellers is referred to as "Nova Sol", a link to the far future being used to tap the energy of the exploding Sun. It is now known that the Sun is too small to explode. The original End of Eternity appeared in 1986 in a collection called The Alternate Asimovs. Plot summary[edit] As the plot unfolds, however, it is increasingly evident that Eternity itself suffers from serious maladjustments. A key plot element which emerges quickly as the story unfolds is the relatively static nature of the human societies in the various future centuries, and the repeated failure of space travel in all accessible centuries. The protagonist is a Technician named Andrew Harlan, who finds himself involved in an ontological paradox orchestrated by his superiors. This is where Asimov’s mistaken “mushroom cloud” appears in the novel. Reception[edit]
