Merely hinted at in previous books, visited off and on for historical background - finally here delved into as deep as one can go - the demystified Hari Seldon. This follows about 40 years of his life, and traces his progress in the development of Psychohistory - the pseudo-mathematical science that would one day save the galaxy. \r\n\r\nIf you have read the Foundation series, either in it's entirety or just pieces, this is a must read. It also (if memory serves) is the last book Asimov wrote before his death - the final pages describing Hari Seldon's final moments of life mirroring his own. A truly beautiful read.", "covers": [9300894, 13709134], "subject_places": ["Trantor (Fictitious place)"], "subjects": ["Fiction", "Historians", "Ficci\u00f3n", "Prophecy", "Psychohistory", "Science fiction", "Historiadores", "Ciencia-ficci\u00f3n", "Life on other planets", "Profec\u00eda", "Fiction, science fiction, general", "American literature", "Long Now Manual for Civilization"], "subject_times": ["Far Future"], "subject_people": ["Hari Seldon (Fictitious character)"], "latest_revision": 7, "revision": 7, "created": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2009-10-15T11:34:21.437031"}, "last_modified": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2025-04-01T01:18:07.719636"}}
