"Academy" is the first in a series of novels set in such a distant future that Earth is almost forgotten by humans, who have spread throughout the galaxy. But not all is perfect in the Galactic Empire, whose colossal size is a detriment. The planets where the entire Imperial bureaucracy is concentrated are vulnerable to attack from both without and within. The monstrous distance between the Empire's center and periphery makes governance ineffective.

The only person prepared to confront the impending catastrophe is Hari Seldon, a psychohistorian and mathematician. Using psychohistory, he makes dire predictions: namely, a new "Dark Age" that will set humanity back 500 years, plunging it into an era of barbarism. Seldon is working on a way to preserve knowledge about his race in the "Galactic Encyclopedia." But this project will take many generations to complete, and who will take up the baton after Seldon? The first Academy trilogy (Academy, Academy and Empire, Second Academy) won the Hugo Award in 1965 as "Best Book Series of All Time."
