Description

The Foundation and Earth novel by Isaac Asimov is a science-fiction masterpiece that explores the concept of a superorganism known as Gaia. This holistic planet has a common consciousness, where every being can speak for all-and feel for all, creating a realm in which privacy is not only undesirable but also incomprehensible. Gaia's first settlers are believed to have originated from Earth, but its location remains unknown, and no record of the planet exists within Gaia's vast world-memory. Former Councilman Golan Trevize is determined to resolve this enigma and undertake a quest to find the site of humanity's roots, even if it means embarking on a perilous journey at any cost. Trevize's search for answers takes him to the heart of the galaxy, where he must confront the implications of Gaia's existence and the potential consequences for the destiny of mankind.
