The Foundation series is a science fiction series written by Isaac Asimov. It is considered one of the most significant works of science fiction ever written, and has been in print continuously since 1943. The stories are set in the 31st century, when humanity has attained near-galactic levels of intelligence through the use of psychohistory, enabling humans to overcome almost any challenge, with an exception made for 'psychohistory's unknown enemy'.

What if Asimov created a book where the good guys never win? What if those good guys were just too darn clever and capable of playing the game on the level of their opponents? That's what you get in this audiobook, which is a re-creation by Scott Brick.
