Forward the Foundation is the second prequel in Isaac Asimov’s legendary Foundation series, chronicling the life and work of Hari Seldon, the brilliant mathematician who created psychohistory—the science capable of predicting the future of civilizations.

Set against the slow decline of the vast Galactic Empire, the novel follows Seldon across decades as he refines his theories, faces political intrigue, and makes personal sacrifices to preserve knowledge and shorten the coming dark age. Each section marks a pivotal moment in both Seldon’s life and the destiny of humanity.

Deeply human and intellectually rich, the novel adds emotional depth to the Foundation saga while seamlessly connecting Asimov’s Robot, Empire, and Foundation universes.
