Designed by psychohistorian Hari Seldon to curb the era of chaos resulting from the decline of the Galactic Empire, the Foundation is now in the hands of the Mule, an unpredictable mutant capable of manipulating minds and imposing his will on anyone. With his powers and the immense resources provided by the Foundation, he has set himself the objective of extending his domination to the last vestiges of the deceased Empire. But already a new legend is taking shape: there is a second Foundation, devoted to the mental sciences, working in an occult way to guarantee the accomplishment of the designs of the legendary Hari Seldon... The Foundation cycle won a special Hugo Award in 1966 declaring it "best series of all time".
