Foundation is really good, especially for world building, the characters are alright (one is great in particular but Asimov isn't the best at character development). Also a central plot device is the science of psychohistory which is basically historical materialism.
If you like H2G2, try Robert Sheckley. Very funny, very based. His book "Dimension of Miracles" is very close to H2G2 but Douglas Adams said that he didn't read it until after writing H2G2.

Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency is also a fun absurdist romp.
