"Academy" - The first in a series of novels, the action of which is set in such a distant future that the Earth is almost forgotten by the people who have settled throughout the Galaxy. But not everything is perfect in the Galactic Empire, whose colossal size is only to its detriment. The planets, where the entire Imperial bureaucratic machine is centered, are vulnerable to attack, both from the outside and from within. The monstrous distance between the center and periphery of the Empire makes governance ineffective. The only person willing to confront the impending disaster is Gary Seldon, a psychohistorian and mathematician. Using psychohistory, he makes a disappointing prediction, namely a new "Dark Ages" that will set humanity back 500 years, plunging it into an age of barbarism. Seldon is working on a way to preserve the knowledge of his race in a "Galactic Encyclopedia". But this project will take generations to accomplish, and who will take up the baton after Seldon? The first Academy trilogy (The Academy, The Academy and the Empire, The Second Academy) won the 1965 Hugo Award for Best Book Series of All Time.
