	Review of Asimov‘s Mysteries
		Asimov was fairly proud of his role in the development of the science fiction mystery, particularly since John Campbell thought it couldn’t be done.
		A number of them involve Asimov’s eccentric sleuth of the future, Wendell Urth, and these tend to be among the better stories in the collection (“The Singing Bell,” for example, and “The Dying Night”) One is rather disappointed that Asimov didn’t write more Urth stories.
		Also included is “Marooned Off Vesta,” Asimov’s first published story, which isn’t a mystery at all but is included to provide a prelude to “Anniversary,” its sequel published decades later to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Asimov’s writing career.

	Isaac Asimov FAQ, Part 2/4 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Asimov was a member of the Explorers Club, and served as master of ceremonies for two years at their annual banquet.
		Asimov discovered that he was acrophobic at the New York World's Fair in 1940, when he took his date and first love Irene on a roller coaster, expecting that it would cause her to cling to him in fear and give him a chance to kiss her.
		Asimov's favorite novel was _The_Gods_Themselves_, largely because of the middle section, which was both absolutely brilliant and included non-humans and sex (Asimov had often been accused of being unable to write stories with non-humans or sex and therefore leaving them out of his work.) His least favorite novel was _The_Stars_Like_Dust_.

	Isaac Asimov FAQ, Part 3/4
		Asimov's original intention was to write a series of longer stories to complement the series of short stories he was writing about robots.
		Asimov's view was exactly the opposite -- his robots are "positronic" because positrons had just been discovered when he started writing robot stories and the word had a nice science-fictiony ring to it.
		Asimov also edited or co-edited a large number of anthologies, and since his name was usually featured prominently on the cover, readers sometimes mistakenly associate his name with a story that appeared in an anthology that was in fact written by another author.

		Asimov was a teetotaler in later life, mainly because in all of his experiences with drinking alcoholic beverages, just one or two drinks were sufficient to get him drunk.
		Asimov was so bitter over the story's history that he swore never again to revise anything more than twice, and he would even fight over having to do a second revision.

	Simplified Spelling Society : Danish, Britannia, Feynman, Asimov.
		However, Asimov was not much persuaded by the Foundation's argument that the key to alleviating the problem is better teaching methods He was particularly unimpressed with the letter's claim that 87% of all English words are spelled phonetically.
		In any case, Asimov's essay is the first instance I have ever seen of someone who equated spelling and grammar and who also proposed to reform them both.
		Asimov does acknowledge that a great deal of trouble would be caused by implementing his reforms.

		Isaac Asimov est sans aucun doute l'un des auteurs de science-fiction les plus connus et les plus populaires, avec une carrière qui s'étend sur près de 60 ans, puisqu'il publie sa première nouvelle en 1939 et que des textes inédits continuent à être édités en 1996, soit 4 ans après sa mort.
		Durant cette longue carrière, Asimov a écrit une quantité considérable de textes de science-fiction, mais aussi des études sur le genre, des romans policiers et surtout des ouvrages de vulgarisation scientifique, exploitant ainsi son doctorat de biochimie et son immense curiosité intellectuelle.

	Tangent Online - Asimov’s Science Fiction, Oct-Nov 2007
		Much like Asimov’s “Nightfall,” the story is one where our particular placement in the cosmos determines how we view the universe through our little corner of it, shaping the very foundations of our cosmologies, myths, and species psychology.
		(Asimov, writing in 1980, admits he had written better, and that “Nightfall,” in his view, had “serious flaws and crudities as far as writing style is concerned.”) It was his 16th published story, written in March of 1941, when he was but 21 ¼ years old.
		Harlan says that after reading so many Asimov stories in his youth, he expected their author to be a mighty-thewed superhero with a positronic brain.

	Lorem Ipsum: Review: I, Robot (movie)
		I think that what happened is that anyone who knew anything about Asimov's work refused to listen to warnings that the movie had little or nothing to do with Asimov's work.
		Ebert says everyone knows it was really Asimov who came up with them; I'm not sure why he thinks that's remotely relevant, since obviously in the world of the movie it would be a character in the movie who came up with them.
		Anyway, regardless of the elements that match Asimov, overall I don't see this movie as a successful adaptation of Asimov's work--which is fine, because I don't think it was meant to be one, and I think it succeeds quite well on its own terms.
