“Prelude to Foundation” (Foundation, Book 1) by Isaac Asimov, 1988

“Prelude to Foundation” (Foundation, Book 1) by Isaac Asimov, 1988

The novel starts with a mathematician, Hari Seldon, delivering his paper on psychohistory (theory of prediction) on the planet Trantor. With this prophetic ability, Hari becomes the most wanted man in the Galactic Empire and goes on the lam.

I loved the hugeness of imagination and ideas conveyed in the story. What it lacked in pace certainly made up for in the richness of the worldbuilding and the triple-plot twist at the end.
