The original trilogy of Isaac Asimov’s bestselling science fiction masterpiece, the Foundation series, in a convenient ebook bundle
THE EPIC SAGA THAT INSPIRED THE APPLE TV+ SERIES FOUNDATION • Nominated as one of America’s best-loved series by PBS’s The Great American Read
For twelve thousand years the Galactic Empire has ruled supreme. Now it is dying. But only Hari Seldon, creator of the revolutionary science of psychohistory, can see into the future—to a dark age of ignorance, barbarism, and warfare that will last thirty thousand years. To preserve knowledge and save humankind, Seldon gathers the best minds in the Empire—both scientists and scholars—and brings them to a bleak planet at the edge of the galaxy to serve as a beacon of hope for future generations. He calls his sanctuary the Foundation.
Collected in this boxed set, Foundation, Foundation and Empire, and Second Foundation form the celebrated original trilogy that started it all. One of the most influential in the history of science fiction, the Foundation series is celebrated for its unique blend of breathtaking action, daring ideas, and extensive worldbuilding. Here, Asimov has written a timely and timeless saga of the best—and worst—that lies in humanity, and the power of even a few courageous souls to shine a light in a universe of darkness.

Captivating plot
Asimov’s foundation series is a brief, energetic, satisfying exploration of some really big ideas. Don’t look for deep character development in his writing, but the action and development of the plot will keep you reading when you should be doing other things.

Classic. Great read.

Original and engaging
I have been working my way through the classics of the sci-fi genre. The Dune series and the Ender’s Game series are by far my favorites, and though I caught up with them only recently, they stand the test of time like few others! As a fan of good sci-fi world building and the. playing out of a societal question in that world. I would rank the Foundation series well below the other two offerings I mentioned. That said, it is well above many others in the genre. If you have seen the new TV series or are planning on watching it. This is one of those vary rare times where the movie is better than the book. But the movie is only that good because of the world building laid down by the book.

Way better than the TV series
I read this several times before I was twenty, and a couple of times since. I recently watched part of the Foundation series and thought it butchered the books. After rereading the books, I realized that the series butchered the books more egregiously than I thought, on multiple levels. If you have watched the series, read the books. I think you’ll find that they relate a more logically constructed, integrated narrative than series. I think Asimov blundered by trying to extend the series later, but even those books didn’t damage the brand as badly as the series.

A master-class example of world-building
Asimov’s “Foundation 3-Book Bundle” is a masterclass in sci-fi storytelling, weaving a galactic epic that transcends time and genre. The premise is ingenious: a dying Galactic Empire on the brink of a dark age, and a hidden Foundation tasked with preserving knowledge and guiding humanity’s future. Asimov’s masterful use of psychohistory, a science predicting the future based on mass emotions, adds a layer of intellectual intrigue that keeps you hooked.Beyond the grand sweep of history, the trilogy shines in its intimate character moments. The complex relationship between Hari Seldon, the Foundation’s founder, and his successors is a study in leadership, ambition, and the burden of foresight. Each book throws fresh challenges at the Foundation, from political machinations to interstellar war, showcasing Asimov’s brilliant world-building and captivating storytelling. This bundle is a must-read for anyone seeking a thought-provoking and thoroughly engrossing sci-fi adventure.

The story is amazing, but this edition is not worth the £34+ being asked. The whole thing feels cheap. The box is poorly constructed and the paper used is very thin low-grade stuff. This is not a high-quality gift item but an over-priced budget item. Returning.
