Foundation, I Robot by Isaac Asimov, Octopus Books, 1984, First Edition. This is a Collectible, Hardcover book and dust jacket. ISBN# 0706421973. The book is black paper over boards with silver design on the cover and silver lettering on the spine. The book binding and pages are upside down. One is correct, one is not. It, however, does not affect the books quality or readability. This collection includes the first volume in the Foundations trilogy, a landmark in imaginative science fiction, and winner of a Special Hugo Award as Best All Time Series in the realm of science and fantasy fiction. In Foundation, Asimov has conceived a whole new world for mankind set far in the future and spanning a period of more than a thousand years. He tells of life in the Galactic Empire, and of Hari Seldon's battle to prevent tens of thousands of years of anarchy through the creating of the Foundation. The entire frame of reference of today's science fiction robots owes more to Asimov than to any other single author. The Three Laws of Robotics formulated in I Robot, have since been adopted by the majority of science fiction writers. I, Robot is a masterly evocation of a future where robots are so sophisticated that man is threatened with redundancy . . .
