The book that started Khan Academy
I’ve been inspired by Isaac Asimov’s Foundation series since I first read the sci-fi classic in middle school. Without giving too much of the story away, Hari Seldon is a pioneer in a new field that can predict the future. Through his work, he sees that the entire galaxy will enter a 10,000-year dark age. It’s impossible to stop the dark age from happening, but Hari thinks he can shorten it by consolidating the galaxy’s knowledge into a single repository—the Foundation—that can help rebuild society.

Hi EmailTuna EmailTuna,
I’ve been inspired by Isaac Asimov’s Foundation series since I first read the sci-fi classic in middle school. Without giving too much of the story away, Hari Seldon is a pioneer in a new field that can predict the future. Through his work, he sees that the entire galaxy will enter a 10,000-year dark age. It’s impossible to stop the dark age from happening, but Hari thinks he can shorten it by consolidating the galaxy’s knowledge into a single repository—the Foundation—that can help rebuild society.
The idea that an organization could collect and spread knowledge for the benefit of humanity was the inspiration for creating Khan Academy as a nonprofit to provide a free, world-class education for anyone, anywhere.
