I really liked him once.. Maybe because he uses some real facts when telling a story / he has knowlege i many aspects other than literature and fiction/ He is also called the father of robots. It's entertaining from time to time to read his stories! I thing everyone should have his books in his home library! What do u think about it? :cool:

I think that Isaac begins with an 'I'.

If you are interested in other science fiction authors that use real facts, try Arthur C. Clark, who wrote the space odyssey trilogy.

Yes, Isaac Asimov also wrote a ton of science fact apart form all that science fiction, and may be the SciFi Maestro of all time. :thumbs_up

Good plots. Bad prose. Worse characterization. Interesting ideas. Great short stories.

I think his fiction is better than his commentaries on the Bible. It's one thing to express atheistic notions, but it should be based on the best attempts at personal rationalization, not naive collation of popular writers' suggestions.
