Foundation was more social commentary than SciFi, IMO.

A lot of SF/Fantasy is disguised social commentary - it's a very long tradition!

I think a lot of Asimov is just that, which bugs me somewhat. I want my SciFi to be full of science and technology!

I know what you mean, but...<WhisperItQuietly>science and technology is boring</WhisperItQuietly> It needs interaction with "people" to make it a "story" - without them, it's just a technical manual!
