Transformation of Society in Isaac Asimov's Fiction

This article analyzes such an aspect in the work of the American writer Isaac Asimov as modeling the society of the future. It is determined that Asimov considers the main problem before the next step in the development of society to be distrust of technology, and sometimes even a certain fear of it. It also turns out that Asimov sees science fiction as a solution to this problem, which he formulates in terms of the theory of evolution. The history of the evolution of human society proves that it must constantly change and develop, otherwise it can simply collapse. In his works, Asimov describes how the active introduction of new technologies into the life of modern society leads to its transformation, there is a polarization between technophobes and technophiles, who, in fact, represent the fears and dreams of people. However, what is the reason for these fears of society? Fear of technology or fear of losing control? This question is manifested in many works of the writer.
