- 18593: Foundation Analysis
- Grace Palley has said, “All fiction is a lie, but at the heart of that lie is a truth.” This quote directly applies to Issac Asimov’s, Foundation. Science Fiction deals with events that did happened, may have happened, or have not yet happened to a certain degree. Foundation has symbolic revelation of corrupt power and the quest for the truth.
