I noticed some mentions of Asimov books on this thread. Has anyone read the Foundation Series? I read them a long time ago and enjoyed them, re-reading them today, the concepts are interesting but the style and execution leave something to be desired. I long for a deeper examination of the science of psychohistory, for example.
But what if The Foundation and the idea of a predictive historical science are not just scifi? What if there were a real Foundation dedicated to preserving human knowledge in the gap between two major civilizations? What if it were possible to actually get involved? More information
