Encyclopedia Galactica

The ''Encyclopedia Galactica'' is a fictional or hypothetical encyclopedia of a galaxy-spanning civilization, containing all the knowledge accumulated by a society with quadrillions of people and thousands of years of history. The name evokes the exhaustive aspects of the real-life ''Encyclopædia Britannica''.
==Asimov's ''Encyclopedia Galactica''==
''Encyclopedia Galactica'' first appeared in Isaac Asimov's short story "Foundation" (''Astounding Science Fiction'', May 1942), later republished as "The Encyclopedists" in the short-story collection ''Foundation'' (1951). Asimov's ''Encyclopedia Galactica'' was a compendium of all knowledge then available in the Galactic Empire, intended to preserve that knowledge in a remote region of the galaxy in the event of a foreseen galactic catastrophe. The ''Encyclopedia'' is later revealed to be an element in an act of misdirection, with its real purpose being to concentrate a group of knowledgeable scientists on a remote, resource-poor planet, with the long-term aim of revitalizing the technologically stagnant and scientifically dormant empire. Originally published in a physical medium, it later becomes computerized and subject to continual change.
Asimov used the ''Encyclopedia Galactica'' as a literary device throughout his ''Foundation'' series, beginning many of the book sections or chapters with a short extract from the ''Encyclopedia'' discussing a key character or event in the story.
