The Foundation series is a series of science fiction novels set in the Trantor universe. They were written by Isaac Asimov and are set in a far future when humans have colonized the Galaxy and have formed an Empire with capital on Trantor planet. The original trilogy, written between 1942 and 1953, consisted of:

  • Foundation

After many years, Asimov wrote two prequels and two sequels:

  • Prelude to Foundation (prequel 1)
  • Forward the Foundation (prequel 2, set after 10 years)
