A must-read science fiction classic! Asimov's science fiction masterpiece was sent into space by Musk on a rocket! Telling the history of mankind for the next 20,000 years. Reading list of the second volume of the textbook for seventh grade published by the People's Education Press.
Human beings have lived in a small corner of the Milky Way - the solar system, on the third planet orbiting the sun, for more than 100,000 years.
Humans established more than two hundred different administrative regions (they called them "countries") on this small planet (they called it "Earth"), until the first thinking robot was born on Earth.
With the help of robots, humans quickly mastered the technology to transform alien planets and started a grand interstellar colonization movement; humans multiplied and expanded like locusts in the Milky Way, taking their everlasting ignorance and wisdom, greed and conscience to the desolate planets, and involved the Milky Way in the long interstellar Warring States era.
A subtle turning point occurred in 12020 after the founding of the Galactic Empire. Hari Seldon, a young mathematician who just turned 35, pioneered "psychohistory", a subject that can use mathematical formulas to accurately deduce the future of all mankind - "prophecy" has since become a trustworthy science, through which mankind can see the future.
Seldon's first prophecy was that the Galactic Empire, which had existed for twelve thousand years, was about to perish, although there was no warning.

The father of modern science fiction, Asimov yyds, is both science fiction and vivid but not boring at the same time.
