And it is the particular story ofpsychohistorian Hari Seldon, the only man who can see the horrorsthe future has in store—a dark age of ignorance, barbarism, andviolence that will last for thirty thousand years. Gathering a bandof courageous men and women, Seldon leads them to a hidden locationat the edge of the galaxy, where he hopes they can preserve humanknowledge and wisdom through the age of darkness.　　In 1966, the Foundation trilogy received a Hugo Award for BestAll-Time Series, and it remains the only fiction series to havebeen so honored.
