My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Classic.
Stitched together out of separate stories in a "fall of the Empire" arc, Asimov created an SF analog to the fall of the Roman Empire - which has echoes even in our time. While there are amusing anachronisms within the story (eg. smoking, paper newspapers) this remains an enduring classic.
