In the late 1990s, he wrote Foundation's Fear, one of an authorized sequel trilogy to Isaac Asimov's Foundation series.

The subterranean farms, however, depended entirely on care provided by tik-toks ( lesser robots ), and their destruction following an abortive uprising ( chronicled in Foundation's Fear ) left the Imperial capital largely dependent upon food brought from other worlds.

Prelude depicts an earlier period of Imperial history, and as subsequently explained in Foundation's Fear, the food situation on Trantor changed precisely because its subterranean farms were shut down in the wake of the abortive tik-tok rebellion.

In the officially licensed Foundation sequels Foundation's Fear, Foundation and Chaos and Foundation's Triumph ( by Gregory Benford, Greg Bear and David Brin respectively ) the future Galactic Empire is seen to be controlled by a conspiracy of humaniform robots who follow the Zeroth Law and led by R. Daneel Olivaw.

The robot conspirators see the Trantorian tiktoks as a massive threat to social stability, and their plan to eliminate the tiktok threat forms much of the plot of Foundation's Fear.

He is also the central character of the Second Foundation Trilogy written after Asimov's death ( Foundation's Fear by Gregory Benford, Foundation and Chaos by Greg Bear, and Foundation's Triumph by David Brin ), which are set after Asimov's two prequels.

Gregory Benford's 1997 novel Foundation's Fear, set tens of thousands of years in the future, depicts a group of robots named tik-toks, who are responsible for supervising the automated farms on the planet Trantor.
