     Hailed from its first publication as a landmark of the genre, the Foundation trilogy, with its epochal vision of future history and its unique blend of social speculation and intrigue, has captivated generation after generation of readers. Among the many thought leaders who have claimed inspiration in these books are Carl Sagan, Paul Krugman, and Elon Musk. The books were awarded a special Hugo Award for Best All-Time Series in 1966. The set is a cornerstone of any serious science fiction collection.
