Seit zwölftausend Jahren herrscht das Galaktische Imperium, doch jetzt beginnt sein Untergang.

Diese "Foundation" soll das Wissen der Menschheit bewahren und als Hoffnungsträger für zukünftige Generationen dienen.

Angeleitet von ihrem Gründer, dem Psychohistoriker Hari Seldon, und unter Einsatz von Wissenschaft und Technologie, überstand die "Foundation" ihre ersten Krisen. Doch nun reichen Klugheit und Mut vielleicht nicht mehr aus. Denn das mächtige Galaktische Imperium wird in seinem Todeskampf noch gefährlicher denn je. Schlimmer noch, ein mysteriöses Wesen namens "Maultier" ist erschienen, dessen Kräfte alle menschliche Vorstellung übersteigen. Wer – oder was – ist das Maultier? Und wie kann sich die Menschheit gegen diesen unverwundbaren Avatar verteidigen.

Der dritte Teil von Isaac Asimovs Science-Fiction-Meisterwerk, der "Foundation"-Trilogie. Die Foundation liegt in Trümmern – zerstört von einem mutierten Wesen, das auf die Vernichtung der Menschheit abzielt. Doch es kursieren Gerüchte, dass irgendwo am anderen Ende der Galaxis eine zweite Foundation existiert. Einst von Hari Seldon als Rückversicherung gegründet, um das Wissen der Menschheit zu bewahren.

Die Anfänge der Foundation. Man schreibt das Jahr 12020. Von der Hauptstadt Trantor aus regiert Cleon I. über sein gigantisches Sternenreich. Doch das Imperium zeigt erste Risse, und der Imperator weiß, dass seine Herrschaft bedroht ist. Dunkel und unheilschwanger liegt eine ungewisse Zukunft vor ihm, denn der Zerfall, so behaupten es alle Prognosen, lässt sich nicht aufhalten. Nicht einmal die neuste Wissenschaft, die Psychohistorik, kann etwas gegen den drohenden Untergang ausrichten. Die Vorgeschichte zur erfolgreichen Apple TV+-Serie "Foundation".

An astonishing work of cultural criticism, this book is widely recognized as a brilliant and devastating challenge to conventional views of literature, anthropology, religion, and psychoanalysis. In its scope and interest it can be compared with Freud's Totem and Taboo, the subtext Girard refutes with polemic daring, vast erudition, and a persuasiveness that leaves the listener compelled to respond, one way or another. This is the single fullest summation of Girard's ideas to date, the book by which they will stand or fall.
