FOUNDATION
Quick Reads - A podcast by Pratham Malhotra

Foundation is a science fiction classic that follows mathematician Hari Seldon, who develops "psychohistory," a science predicting the future of large populations. Seldon foresees the fall of the Galactic Empire and a 30,000-year dark age, but sets up the "Foundation" on a distant planet to preserve knowledge and shorten the chaos to 1,000 years. The story spans generations, showing how science, strategy, and political maneuvering help the Foundation survive threats. Asimov weaves themes of logic, foresight, and the rise of civilization, making Foundation a visionary tale of humanity’s resilience and the power of knowledge over time.
