Apparently, he was the main character in the "Foundation" series of novels (which I tried to read at about age 14 but got bored). Here's a quote from one site found: ...Isaac Asimov has been called America’s most prolific author, with more than 440 published books. His subject matter covers a wide spectrum ranging from the Bible, to Shakespeare, to science fiction. One of his best known series of stories is known as the “Foundation Series.” It consists of six books (in story order): Prelude to Foundation, Forward the Foundation, Foundation, Foundation and Empire, Second Foundation, Foundation’s Edge, and Foundation and Earth. Each of the books can stand on its own merit; however together they chronicle a tale of nearly a thousand years sometime in the distant future. The central character in all the books (although he only actually appears in the first two) is Harry Seldon, a mathematician who has discovered a way to predict the future. It is a new science that he calls “psychohistory.”
