书籍简介:
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 know forever after as the Foundation.
作者简介:
作者:艾萨克·阿西莫夫(1920-1992)
俄裔美籍作家,被全世界的读者誉为“神一样的人”;美国政府授予他“国家的资源与自然的奇迹”这个独一无二的称号,以表彰他在“拓展人类想象力”上做出的杰出贡献。
阿西莫夫是一个全知全能的作家,其著作几乎覆盖人类生活的一切方面,上天下海、古往今来、 从恐龙到亚原子到全宇宙无所不包,从通俗小说到罗马帝国史,从科普读物到远东千年历史,从圣经指南,到科学指南,到两性生活指南,每一部著作都朴实、严谨而又充满幽默风趣的格调,为了尽情发挥自己诙谐搞笑的天赋,他甚至还写过一本《笑话集》。
到了晚年,他开始变得“好色”,出版了一系列两性话题的“黄书”。
他提出的“机器人学三定律”是当代机器人研究的基本法则,他预言了今天的生物科技,预言了互联网时代的数字图书馆,预言了人类将进行太空殖民。
终其一生,阿西莫夫最引以为豪的则是:《银河帝国》系列小说。
