Publicado originalmente em 1951 como romance, Asimov escreve para mostrar que os avanços tecnológicos levam a sociedade para grandes conflitos, porém a busca por uma ciência racionalizada, e também mais moralista, pode nos levar a uma sociedade melhor.
Fundação é o início da sua interpretação da ascensão e queda de grandes impérios, seja ele romano ou norte americano.
