Strange Saturdays - Foundation

Strange Saturdays is a monthly book club dedicated to the best in science fiction and fantasy. Meeting every first Saturday at 1:00PM in the Brighton Room, we'll explore imagined worlds, distant futures, and magical realms—one strange and thought-provoking story at a time. Whether you're a lifelong fan or just curious about the genre, all are welcome to join the conversation. Our December title is Foundation by Isaac Asimov 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.
