For the full experience, please support the original work. When a thousand–year–old Galactic Empire begins to rot from the inside, one quiet mathematician sees what no one else wants to face: collapse is inevitable. But chaos doesn’t have to last 30,000 years. Through a bold plan, a tiny outpost called the Foundation is created at the edge of the galaxy—an apparent encyclopedia project that secretly becomes the seed of a new future. Across crises, political games, and shifting power, the Foundation survives not with brute force, but with strategy, knowledge, and long–term thinking. This audiobook is a masterclass in playing the long game: using constraints as leverage, turning weakness into advantage, and building systems that outlast any single leader. Perfect for listeners who want epic science fiction and a powerful metaphor for designing their own “foundation” for productivity, influence, and legacy.Voir livre
