La última pregunta, una obra maestra de la ciencia ficción, es, tal y como afirmó su autor en repetidas ocasiones, por encima de toda duda, mi favorita entre todas las historias que he escrito en mi carrera. ¿Es posible revertir el inevitable final del Universo, o el mundo debe acabar de todas formas? es la pregunta que desde un día del siglo XXI, hasta generaciones y generaciones posteriores en el tiempo, hacen los humanos a los ordenadores.

Un clásico entre los clásicos de la ciencia ficción. Esta historia, que apareció por primera vez en 1976, fue mi exposición más clarividente del desarrollo de los robots. Trataba del deseo de un robot de convertirse en hombre y la forma en que realizaba este deseo, paso a paso. No tenía intención de escribir esta historia cuando la empecé, se escribió sola, y se trazó y entrelazó en la máquina de escribir. Acabó siendo la tercera de mis historias favoritas, entre todas las escritas.

Prévoyant l'effondrement prochain de l'Empire galactique, le psychohistorien Hari Seldon a jadis créé deux Fondations, l'une officielle, l'autre occulte, afin de préserver la civilisation d'une interminable période de chaos. Pourtant, cinq siècles après leur établissement, alors même que la Première Fondation n'a jamais été aussi puissante, un nouveau protagoniste semble entrer en jeu, œuvrant dans l'ombre à l'insu de tous. Peut-être tient-il entre ses mains le devenir de l'humanité tout entière...

Tandis que les crises qui secouent l'Empire redoublent de violence et annoncent son effondrement définitif, la Fondation créée par le psychohistorien Hari Seldon pour sauvegarder la civilisation devient de plus en plus puissante, suscitant naturellement convoitise et visées annexionnistes. En tout premier lieu, celles de Bel Riose, jeune général qui voit dans les secrets détenus par la Fondation le moyen de monter sur le trône. C'est alors qu'apparaît un mystérieux et invincible conquérant, surnommé le Mulet, que le plan de Seldon n'avait pas prévu.
