Foundation: The Art and Making of Seasons 1 & 2 is the lavish coffee table book that fans of the show have been waiting for.

Foundation follows Hari Seldon, a psychohistorian who uses complex mathematics to predict the fall of the benevolent and all-powerful Galactic Empire. Seldon recruits Gaal Dornick, an intelligent young mathematician from faraway Synnax, to enact his plan to start a new colony. Foundation chronicles this band of exiles on their monumental journey to save humanity and rebuild civilization amid the fall of the Galactic Empire. Following an ensemble cast and a story that spans multiple timelines, this truly epic series adapts Isaac Asimov's beloved novels to the screen.
