Hugo Award for Best Series of All Time

In 1941, as a young scientist and writer, Isaac Asimov was inspired by Edward Gibbon's History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire and wrote an epic far ahead of his time: the collapse of the Galactic Empire and the return of feudalism, from the safe environment of the Second Galactic Empire. Told from a retrospective perspective. As a result of this process, questions such as "Can history be predicted?", "How should society be governed?" or “Why do empires rise and fall?” The epic Foundation Series, which does not hesitate to ask questions such as these, has emerged.

The Foundation was advanced enough to rival the crumbling Empire. Thanks to its superior technology and access to energy resources that other planets did not have, it received support from all over the Galaxy; in short, everything was going according to Seldon's Plan. However, this plan, which made its prediction through the masses, did not take into account a person who was becoming increasingly powerful: the Mule, who had the power to control emotions and thoughts. The only thing that prevented the Mule from taking over the Galaxy was the mysterious Second Foundation, whose location was kept secret and people were willing to die to protect this secret.
