The narrator of Forward the Foundation is anonymous but entirely sympathetic and empathetic to the final decades in the life of Hari Seldon, inventor of psychohistory, as he strives to turn his impractical theory into a tool that will shorten the dark age that is coming upon the Galactic Empire. The novel is told in the third-person narrrative and the past tense, largely through narrative connecting extensive dialogue, without delving into the characters' inner thought processes.
