According to Asimov, the premise was based on ideas in Edward Gibbon's History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire,

Four years later, Asimov followed up with yet another sequel, Foundation and Earth (1986), which was followed by the prequels Prelude to Foundation (1988) and Forward the Foundation (1993), published after his death in 1992
