人類蝸居在銀河係的一個小角落——太陽係,在圍繞太陽鏇轉的第三顆行星上,生活瞭十多萬年之久。
人類在這個小小的行星(他們稱之為“地球”)上,建立瞭兩百多個不同的行政區域(他們稱之為“國傢”),直到地球上誕生瞭第1個會思考的機器人。
在機器人的幫助下,人類迅速掌握瞭改造外星球的技術,開啓瞭恢弘的星際殖民運動;人類在銀河係如蝗蟲般繁衍擴張,帶著他們磨滅的愚昧與智慧、貪婪與良知,登上瞭一個個荒涼的星球,並將銀河係捲入漫長的星際戰國時代,直至整個銀河被統一,一個統治超過2500萬個住人行星、疆域橫跨十萬光年、總計數兆億人口的龐大帝國崛起——銀河帝國。
一個微妙的轉摺發生在銀河帝國建國後的12020年。哈裏·謝頓,這個剛滿32歲的年輕數學傢,開創瞭“心理史學”,這門學科能用數學公式準確推演全人類的未來——“預言”從此成為一門可以信任的科學,人類由此可以看見未來。
謝頓的第1個預言是:雖然毫無徵兆,但已存在一萬兩韆年之久的銀河帝國即將滅亡。
一時間,銀河震動,帝國飄搖;皇帝、宰相、奪權者、反叛星球,各方勢力立刻劍拔弩張,人類銀河時代偉大的傳奇就此開啓……
For twelve thousand years the Galactic Empire has ruled supreme. Now it is dying. Only Hari Seldon, creator of the revolutionary science of psychohistory, can see into the future—a dark age of ignorance, barbarism, and warfare that will last thirty thousand years. To preserve knowledge and save humanity, 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 future generations. He calls this sanctuary the Foundation.
But soon the fledgling Foundation finds itself at the mercy of corrupt warlords rising in the wake of the receding Empire. And mankind’s last best hope is faced with an agonizing choice:submit to the barbarians and live as slaves—or take a stand for freedom and risk total destruction.
艾薩剋·阿西莫夫(1920-1992),俄裔美籍作傢,被全世界的讀者譽為“神一樣的人”;美國政府授予他“國傢的資源與自然的奇跡”這個的稱號,以錶彰他在“拓展人類想象力”上做齣的傑齣貢獻。阿西莫夫是一個全知的作傢,其著作幾乎覆蓋人類生活的方麵,上天下海、古往今來、從恐龍到亞原子到全宇宙無所不包,從通俗小說到羅馬帝國史,從科普讀物到遠東韆年曆史,從指南,到科學指南,到兩性生活指南,每一部著作都樸實、嚴謹而又充滿幽默風趣的格調,為瞭盡情發揮自己詼諧搞笑的天賦,他甚至還寫過一本《笑話集》。提齣的“機器人學三大法則”是當代機器人學的基本法則,他預言瞭的生物科技,預言瞭互聯網時代的數字圖書館,預言瞭人類將進行太空殖民。終其一生,阿西莫夫引以為豪的則是:《銀河帝國》係列小說。
Isaac Asimov began his Foundation Series at the age of twenty-one, not realizing that it would one day be considered a cornerstone of science fiction. During his legendary career, Asimov penned per 470 books on subjects ranging from science to Shakespeare to history, though he was most loved for his award-winning science fiction sagas, which include the Robot, Empire, and Foundation series. Named a Grand Master of Science Fiction by the Science Fiction Writers of America, Asimov entertained and educated readers of all ages for close to five decades. He died, at age of seventy-two, in April 1992.

Hisname wasGaal Dornick and he was just acountry who had never seen Trantorbefore. That is, not in real life. Hehad seen it many times onthe hyper-video, andoccasionally in tremendous three-dimensional newscasts covering an ImperialCoronation or the opening of aGalactic Council. Even thoughhe had lived all his life on the world of Synnax, which circled astar at the edges of the BlueDrift, he was not cut oil from civilization.vou see. At thattime, no place in the Galaxy was.
There were nearly twenty-five million inhabited planets in theGalaxy then, and not onebut owed allegiance to the Empire whose seat was on Trantor. It was the lasthalf-century in which thatcould be said.
ToGaal, this trip was the undoubted climax ofhis young, scholarly life. He had been in spacebefore so that the trip, as a voyage and nothing more, meant little to him. Tobe sure, he had traveled previously only as liar as Synnax’s only satellite in order to get the data onthemechanics of meteor driftage whichhe needed for his dissertation, hut space-travel was all one whether one travelled half a million miles, or as many light years.
He had steeledhimself just a little forthe Jump throughhyper-space, a phenomenon one did not experience in simple interplanetary trips The Jump remained, and would probably remain forever, the only practical method of travelling between the stars. Travel through ordinary space could proceed at no rate more rapid than that of ordinary light (a bit of scientific knowledge that belonged among the items known since the forgotten dawn of human history), and that would havemeant years of travelbetween even the nearest of inhabited systems. Through hype-space, thatunimaginable region that was neither space nor time, matter nor energy,something nor nothing,one could traverse the length of theGalaxy in the interval between two neighboring instants of time.Gaal had waited for the first of those umps with a little dread curled gently in his stomach, and it ended in nothing more than a triflingjar,a little internal kick which ceased an instantbefore he could he sure he had felt it. Thatwas all.
And after that, there was only the ship, large and glistening; the cool production of 12,000 years of Imperial progress; and himself, with his doctorate in mathematics freshly obtained and an invitation from the great Hari Seldon to come to Trantor and join the vast and somewhat mysterious Seldon Project.
