Yes, but unlike many other futurist novels, I've always enjoyed the way that the resolution of so many of Asimov's stories are inclusive of technology.
I guess another way to say it is that many authors treat technology as somehow inherently evil. Asimov, on the other hand, treats technology as technology. That's not to say there are never mishaps or tragic consequences, but it's usually the result of human actions. The technology in his stories does not exert a malevolent force of its own. Some humans are good, some are bad, but technology doesn't change that.
