Ergebnis für "Foundation" in Science Fiction

Seit zwölftausend Jahren herrscht das Galaktische Imperium, doch jetzt beginnt sein Untergang. Hari Seldon, Schöpfer der revolutionären Wissenschaft der Psychohistorik, kann die Zukunft vorherberechnen. Um einem 30.000 Jahre andauernden dunklen Zeitalter der Barbarei zu entgehen, versammelt Seldon die herausragendsten Köpfe des Imperiums und bringt sie auf einen trostlosen Planeten am Rande der Galaxie. 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".

Cleon I. wird darauf aufmerksam und will Seldons Hilfe. Insbesondere der erste Minister Cleons, Eto Demerzel, scheint gar nicht begeistert von diesem Vorhaben zu sein.
