About Me

My photo
Raven
I was born in the 10th month of the 11,988th year of the Galactic Era (GE) (-79 Foundation Era (FE)). My prediction of the eventual fall of the Galactic Empire has earned me nickname "Raven" Seldon: I guess it stuck. For reasons too tedious to explain, I have made very few in-the-flesh appearances to my interlocutors: just read the book. I prefer to appear in pre-recorded holographic messages when it is time to reveal a Seldon Crisis. However, since the invention of the internet, thanks to Al Gore, I have chosen to reveal my observations (and perhaps a few predictions) on this website.
