	Isaac Asimov - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Asimov was by general consensus a master of the science-fiction genre and, along with Robert A. Heinlein and Arthur C. Clarke, was considered to be one of the "Big Three" science-fiction writers during his lifetime.
		Asimov was born around January 2, 1920 (his date of birth for official purposes—the precise date is not certain) in Petrovichi shtetl of Smolensk Oblast, RSFSR (now Russia) to Anna Rachel Berman Asimov and Judah Asimov, a Jewish family of millers.
		Isaac Asimov was a humanist and a rationalist.

		Asimov was not a trained historian, and never shied away from the fact that he used others research and that he seldom contributed anything original himself.
		Asimov’s job, as he saw it, was to present knowledge in an interesting and accessible manner.
		Asimov is presenting the facts and stories; he is not out to make any daring or original theories on the nature of man and politics.

	Gold: The Final Science Fiction Collection (Isaac Asimov) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Whether Asimov is reminiscing about the "Golden Age" of printed science fiction or talking about the exact role of robots or aliens in the genre, his arguments are presented clearly and the healthy dash of wit familiar to his many fans.
		Asimov was an author who had a lot to say (a LOT to say -- over 400 books worth) and here is what will probably serve as his final written words on and about science fiction.
		Isaac Asimov was one of my childhood icons, and many of his classic stories had a profound influence on me. I will also never forget the opportunity I had to hear him speak in person at a New York City convention: he was as delightful and charming in person as he is in print.

	[No title]
		Isaac Asimov is one of the most prolific writers in American history; with over 500 titles, Asimov has covered almost every major division of the library Dewey decimal system with topics including anatomy, physiology, astronomy, the Bible, biology, chemistry, etymology, geography, Greek mythology, history, humor, mathematics, and physics (Riley, 1975, pp.
		Asimov is most well known, however, for his work in science fiction, and also for being a professed and proud atheist.
		According to Asimov, he was "sometimes suspected of being nonreligious as an act of rebellion against Orthodox parents...but it was not true of me. I have rebelled against nothing.

	The History of the Positronic Robot and Empire Novels, 1947-1958
		Gold, Pohl went on to say, had one small addition he wanted to make to the novel: he wanted to add a subplot involving the United States Constitution.
		Asimov was reluctant, since he had only written short stories with robots and wasn't sure if he could come up with a novel-length robot story.
		Gold suggested that Asimov write a murder mystery on an overpopulated world, with a detective who would lose his job to his robot partner if he was unable to solve the murder.

	Encyclopedia: Gold (Asimov short story)
		Gold was a short story by Isaac Asimov, originally collected in the eponymous volume Gold.
		It was one of the last short stories he wrote in his life, and is considered by some to be his last significant piece of writing.
		Besides demonstrating Asimov's admiration for William Shakespeare's plays, "Gold" may be taken as a response to criticisms of Asimov's non-visual writing style.

	ASIMOV'S UNIVERSE - Search Results
		Asimov, though, was growing concerned over the fact that his writing output since the summer of 1942 had appeared only in Astounding.
		Asimov agreed, choosing Pebble in the Sky, and the novel was published under that name on January 19, 1950.
		Asimov finally abandoned The Bounds of Infinity on October 20, 1958, and for the next 25 years The Caves of Steel and The Naked Sun remained a two-volume trilogy.

		The first consists of fifteen previously uncollected short stories with the implication that now all of Asimov's shorts have been collected (although I seem to recall other stories which appeared after Asimov's death which are not included).
		While many of these are interesting in their own right, it would have been nice if the editor (Janet Asimov?) would have included a source description so the reader could look up the original anthology if so desired.
		Asimov, can be read in a day or two, so can the 342 page Gold.

		Asimov, who died in 1992 and whose influence can hardly be exaggerated, is ill-served by this work, two-thirds of which consists of book introductions and editorials he wrote for Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine.
		The Hugo-winning "Gold," meanwhile, in which a "compu-drama" director agrees to adapt an SF novel to the new medium, is by itself worth the price of this book.
		Asimov is able to grab your interest in the opening sentences of each story.

	Review of Other Worlds of Isaac Asimov
		Asimov and Greenberg therefore decided to assemble a collection of Asimov’s best sf not set in the robot/Foundation "world" (hence the title).
		Horace Gold forced Asimov to edit "Hostess" to change its mental parasites into pseudo-genes to avoid a thematic conflict with a story by Ted Sturgeon.
		Asimov generally restored "Hostess" to the pre-edit form when he reprinted it in his own books, this being an exception.

	Review of Isaac Asimov's Gold
		Asimov was one of the world's most lucid, prolific writers.
		Asimov explains himself further, in a section I found relevant to his harsh rebuttals of someone like Velikovsky (who said that all the miracles in the Bible were due to scientifically verifiable events).
		Asimov's writings about writing are a bit simplistic, but he sets out the basics of a story straight-forwardly, much like what he demonstrates in practice in his own fiction.

	Gold : The Final Science Fiction Collection (Isaac Asimov) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The book I read consisted of a lot of self-congratulatory essays on Asimov's creation of the Three Laws of Robotics (which aren't really laws, but that's a topic for a different rant) punctuated by a bunch of shaggy-dog stories (MAYBE they were funny in 1955) and a couple of lame science-fiction stories.
		Not to say that Asimov explains them away; he merely presents an interpretation of the facts in a way that would be natural to someone trying to produce something so intangible in a visual context.
		"Gold" isn't the best piece of fiction that Asimov wrote during his long and celebrated career, but it should definitely be considered worth reading.

	OT: Isaac Asimov
		Asimov was more than a writer, he was a philosopher and a scientist and a teacher.
		No, Clarke is favourite of mine as well, but he's very preachy compared to Asimov, and I find his stories are not as breathtaking in scope and lack that grande scale.
		He became a terrific writer over the years, although his early writing style (bookes written in the '40s and '50s) was not as smooth, the ideas were so incredible, it _almost_ didn't matter.

	Review of Gold
		As with other "late" anthologies of Asimov’s work, the stories collected here are included more for the sake of their not having been collected before than anything else.
		The net effect is that only two of the stories, "Cal", and "Gold" are really worthwhile at all.
		I actually enjoyed "Cal" somewhat more than "Gold", although the latter won a Hugo; but there are people who would rate them differently.

		Isaac Asimov's short story, "Nightfall", tells of a planet orbiting in a system containing 6 suns, where a configuration leading to the fall of darkness occurs only once in two millennia.
		Isaac Asimov is, for me, the best Sci Fi writer in the world.
		I think there are two completely different sides to this book: Before and during the nightfall, where you have an interesting pace to the telling of the story, where the suspense is built in an exciting way and where you begin to see where the author is going with the story.

	Book Review: Gold, Foragers, Worldwar: Tilting the Balance, Fisherman's Hope
		, Asimov even predicts his own posthumous collection, in a manner of speaking, with the quote, "Even death, it seems won't stop us..." Ironically, he was referring to the practice of posthumous publications.
		Despite some sub-par pieces, the book is well worth acquiring for a few of the short stories and for the excellent essays, particularly for those who are contemplating writing their own science fiction.
		I was lucky enough to become interested in Asimov when he came out of his self-enforced period of dormancy with the creation of Asimov's Science Fiction, a magazine born in 1977, the year I graduated from high school.
