Another of the cult sci-fi books by Asimov The premise of the stories is that in the waning days of a future Galactic Empire, the mathematician Hari Seldon devises the theory of psychohistory, a new and effective mathematics of sociology. Using statistical laws of mass action, it can predict the future of large populations. Seldon foresees the imminent fall of the Empire, which encompasses the entire Milky Way, and a dark age lasting 30,000 years before a second empire arises. Although the momentum of the Empire’s fall is too great to stop, Seldon devises a plan by which “the onrushing mass of events must be deflected just a little” to eventually limit this interregnum to just one thousand years. The books describe some of the dramatic events of those years as they are shaped by the underlying political and social mechanics of Seldon’s Plan

The term occupational hazard is usually used to describe “physical” hazards, which one is exposed to in the process of pursuing their occupation/work. Like being exposed to anthrax as a wool rearer, dangerous radiations for nuclear factory workers or just plain old back pain in the tech industry (I am turning 24, and my back is already starting to show signs of rebel, even if I am fairly physically active).
