THE EPIC SAGA THAT INSPIRED THE APPLE TV+ SERIES FOUNDATION • Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels 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. 
 
The Foundation novels of Isaac Asimov are among the most influential in the history of science fiction, celebrated for their unique blend of breathtaking action, daring ideas, and extensive worldbuilding. In Foundation, Asimov has written a timely and timeless novel 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.]]>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C39137https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C39137Sat, 31 Jan 2004 00:00:00 GMThttps://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/39137980EBOOKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780553900347/MC.GIF&client=tlcovega&type=xw12&oclc=This classic science fiction masterwork by Isaac Asimov weaves stories about robots, humanity, and the deep questions of existence into a novel of shocking intelligence and heart.
“A must-read for science-fiction buffs and literature enjoyers alike.”—The Guardian
I, Robot, the first and most widely read book in Asimov’s Robot series, forever changed the world’s perception of artificial intelligence. Here are stories of robots gone mad, of mind-reading robots, and robots with a sense of humor. Of robot politicians, and robots who secretly run the world—all told with the dramatic blend of science fact and science fiction that has become Asimov’s trademark.
The Three Laws of Robotics:
1) A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2) A robot must obey orders given to it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3) A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
With these three, simple directives, Isaac Asimov formulated the laws governing robots’ behavior. In I, Robot, Asimov chronicles the development of the robot from its primitive origins in the present to its ultimate perfection in the not-so-distant future—a future in which humanity itself may be rendered obsolete.
“Tremendously exciting and entertaining . . . Asimov dramatizes an interesting question: How can we live with machines that, generation by generation, grow more intelligent than their creators and not eventually clash with our own invention?”—The Chicago Tribune]]>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C39136https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C39136Sat, 31 Jan 2004 00:00:00 GMThttps://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/39136980EBOOKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780553900330/MC.GIF&client=tlcovega&type=xw12&oclc=https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2282306https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2282306Sat, 31 Jan 2004 00:00:00 GMThttps://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2282306218PAPERBACKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780553293371/MC.GIF&client=tlcovega&type=xw12&oclc=https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C1681834https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C1681834Thu, 31 Jan 2002 00:00:00 GMThttps://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1681834218BKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780836832396/MC.GIF&client=tlcovega&type=xw12&oclc=https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C1367021https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C1367021Wed, 31 Jan 1990 00:00:00 GMThttps://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1367021218BKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780553290998/MC.GIF&client=tlcovega&type=xw12&oclc=https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C1874250https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C1874250Wed, 31 Jan 1990 00:00:00 GMThttps://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1874250218PAPERBACKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780441731541/MC.GIF&client=tlcovega&type=xw12&oclc=https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C1353612https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C1353612Tue, 31 Jan 1989 00:00:00 GMThttps://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1353612218BKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780879755409/MC.GIF&client=tlcovega&type=xw12&oclc=https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C1296084https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C1296084Fri, 31 Jan 1986 00:00:00 GMThttps://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1296084218BKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780385197847/MC.GIF&client=tlcovega&type=xw12&oclc=https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C1280048https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C1280048Tue, 31 Jan 1984 00:00:00 GMThttps://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1280048218BKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780385195416/MC.GIF&client=tlcovega&type=xw12&oclc=https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C1243059https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C1243059Sat, 31 Jan 1981 00:00:00 GMThttps://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1243059218BKenghttps://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2035118https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2035118Sat, 31 Jan 2004 00:00:00 GMThttps://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2035118218EBOOKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780553900354/MC.GIF&client=tlcovega&type=xw12&oclc=https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2035091https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2035091Thu, 31 Jan 1991 00:00:00 GMThttps://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2035091218EBOOKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780307792396/MC.GIF&client=tlcovega&type=xw12&oclc=On a planet with six suns, night is about to fall for the first time in two thousand years . . .

Isaac Asimov's short story "Nightfall" first appeared in 1941. It has since become recognized as a classic, its author a legend. But the short story isn't the whole story. Now, Dr. Asimov has teamed with multiple Hugo and Nebula Award winner Robert Silverberg to explore and expand one of the most awe-inspiring concepts in the history of science fiction.
In this novel, you will witness Nightfall—and much more.
You will learn what happens at Daybreak.]]>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C537105https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C537105Mon, 31 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMThttps://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/537105980EBOOKA Novelenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780307792396/MC.GIF&client=tlcovega&type=xw12&oclc=The second novel in Isaac Asimov’s classic science-fiction masterpiece, the Foundation series

THE EPIC SAGA THAT INSPIRED THE APPLE TV+ SERIES FOUNDATION

Led by its founding father, the psychohistorian Hari Seldon, and utilizing science and technology, the Foundation survived the greed and barbarism of its neighboring warrior-planets. Now cleverness and courage may not be enough. For the Empire—the mightiest force in the Galaxy—is even more dangerous in its death throes. Even worse, a mysterious entity called the Mule has appeared with powers beyond anything humanly conceivable. Who—or what—is the Mule? And how is humanity to defend itself against this invulnerable avatar of annihilation?
Filled with nail-biting suspense, nonstop action, and cutting-edge speculation, Foundation and Empire is the story of humanity’s perpetual struggle against the darkness that forever threatens to overwhelm the light—and of how the courage of even a determined few can make all the difference in the universe.]]>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C39138https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C39138Sat, 31 Jan 2004 00:00:00 GMThttps://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/39138980EBOOKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780553900354/MC.GIF&client=tlcovega&type=xw12&oclc=https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C19339329https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C19339329Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/19339329981EAUDIOBOOKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798295390814/MC.GIF&client=tlcovega&type=xw12&oclc=https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C18331065https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C18331065Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMThttps://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/18331065981EBOOKYouth, Let's Get Together, Robot Al-76 Goes Astray, Super-neutron, Ring Around The Sun And Othersenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9786178616144/MC.GIF&client=tlcovega&type=xw12&oclc=https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C18049361https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C18049361Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMThttps://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/18049361981EAUDIOBOOKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798347337941/MC.GIF&client=tlcovega&type=xw12&oclc=https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C18563210https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C18563210Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMThttps://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/18563210981EAUDIOBOOKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798318200632/MC.GIF&client=tlcovega&type=xw12&oclc=https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C18658433https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C18658433Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMThttps://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/18658433981EAUDIOBOOKWhere Legends Collide: 20 Masterworks Of Strange Futures And Dark Fates From Time-twisted Vengeanceenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798318105029/MC.GIF&client=tlcovega&type=xw12&oclc=https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C18560779https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C18560779Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMThttps://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/18560779981EAUDIOBOOKClassic Voyages From Sci-fi Legends Like Asimov, Ellison, And Harrisonenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798318249204/MC.GIF&client=tlcovega&type=xw12&oclc=https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C17948922https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C17948922Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMThttps://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/17948922981EAUDIOBOOKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798347985548/MC.GIF&client=tlcovega&type=xw12&oclc=
