Foundation TV show is based on Isaac Asimovs book series. The show is set in a far future, like the original book series, will follow as Hari Seldon, the inventor of new science called psychohistory, which is used to both slow and limit the impact of what he sees as the inevitable collapse of the Galactic Empire. The new science makes some people rather nervous, not the least of which is Hari, who’s not only smart enough to invent a new kind of science, but also to know how the people in power will react to it.
