Abstract

GONZALEZ ABRAJAN, Mario. Trantor: the city-World. Polis [online]. 2007, vol.3, n.2, pp.105-127. ISSN 2594-0686.

Even though overestimated, science fiction could perhaps be the most genuine product of 20^th Century literature. In this perspective, there has been a close relationship between the metropolis and science fiction. To prove this, the article takes as a sample, the literary production of Isaac Asimov, mainly his The Foundation series, which gave fame to the futuristic and high technology city-World of Trantor.

Keywords : science fiction; metropolis; technology; Isaac Asimov; Foundation.
