Forward the Foundation

This final Foundation book brought the series full-circle in both chronology and style, for it was a series of four short stories chronicling the last decades of Hari Seldon’s life and the completion of his goal to develop psychohistory as a practical science. It concluded his story as set up in Prelude very nicely, and provided context to the original trilogy. This story, more than Prelude, shows the strength of Seldon’s character.
