What this book is about
Asimov's last novel, completed just before his death, follows Hari Seldon's final decades as he refines psychohistory, navigates imperial politics, and loses those he loves. A bittersweet farewell to the Foundation universe that gains resonance knowing it was the author's own final chapter.
