The Academy is the first in a series of novels set in a future so distant that the Earth is almost forgotten by people who have spread throughout the galaxy. But not everything is perfect in the Galactic Empire, whose colossal size only harms it. Planets where the entire imperial bureaucracy is concentrated are vulnerable to attack, both from outside and from within. The monstrous distance between the center and the periphery of the Empire makes governance ineffective. The only person ready to face the impending catastrophe is Gary Seldon, a psychohistorian and mathematician. With the help of psychohistory, he makes disappointing predictions, namely, new "Dark Ages" that will throw humanity back 500 years, plunging it into an era of barbarism. Seldon is working on a way to save knowledge of his race in the Galactic Encyclopedia. But this project will take many generations to complete, and who will take over after Seldon? The first Academy trilogy (Academy, Academy and Empire, Second Academy) won the Hugo Award in 1965 for "Best Book Series of All Time".
