Keywords:

Abstract
Constantly, geography has explored spaces to describe and analyze. From the real space, to the images; and more recently, to the image in literature or film, but less frequently has addressed the images provided by science fiction. We propose in this article, a reading from the geography of the Foundation Trilogy by Isaac Asimov, a narrative of the past six decades; that has allowed us to analyze the surveys in the urban space. The author’s fiction is examined from the current urban reality, the evolution of geographical thought and our subjectivity.Downloads
