O Império Galático possui 12 mil anos. E possui pujança, grandeza e estabilidade. Ao menos em sua fachada. Mas ele está em pleno declínio, lento e gradual. E, no final, culminará com uma regressão violenta da sociedade e a conseqüente destruição do conhecimento. Preocupados com isso, um grupo de cientistas traça um plano pela preservação do conhecimento adquirido. Vencedor do prêmio Hugo, como a melhor série de FC de todos os tempos, este é o livro inicial da Trilogia da Fundação.

I was afraid of reading Asimov for the first time because I always feel like these classic books, especially sci-fi ones, will have a difficult language and therefore will be difficult to read. BUT, I was again positively surprised, because the language was super accessible and the reading was, after getting situated in the world and what was happening, very fluid. At first, yes, it's a bit too much to take in, what with all the names, terms, world-building you have to understand, but after you get situated, the political aspects, the way the "Seldon Crisis" solve themselves and the critics towards religion, politics, capitalism and more just draw you into the book and you just want to keep reading. It's also not a big book, so it's easy to finish it quickly (and want to pick up the second right away). I can't wait to complete at least the first trilogy and maybe pick up more of Asimov other series.
