Prologue
The First Galactic Empire had endured for tens of thousands of years. It had
included all the planets of the Galaxy in a centralized rule, sometimes
tyrannical, sometimes benevolent, always orderly. Human beings had forgotten
that any other form of existence could be.
All except Hari Seldon.
Hari Seldon was the last great scientist of the First Empire. It was he who
brought the science of psycho-history to its full development. Psycho-history
was the quintessence of sociology, it was the science of human behavior reduced
to mathematical equations.
