Really disappointed. It's a collection of stories about the Foundation and the troubles it faces to keep it alive.
They're purpose is the maintaining of knowledge in the face of the destruction of mankind, so that when the empire rebuilds itself, it won't have to start from nothing.
They become a target of interests, each kingdom in the empire trying to either conquer it or gain its favor.
Through a series of what can be called political maneuvers, the leaders of the foundation manage to outsmart its opponents.
It goes on to tell stories about the spread of the Foundation influence throughout the fading empire.
The writing is too boring. The intelligent actions of the characters are unconvincing and uninteresting. The “religion” plot had potential, but it was badly executed.
