Isaac Asimov was the Grand Master of the Science Fiction Writers of America, the founder of robot ethics, and one of the world’s most prolific authors of fiction and non-fiction. Asimov’s short fiction has been enjoyed by millions for more than half a century.
Many of the stories in this collection are classics of the genre, including ‘Living Space’, which looks at the consequences of the existence of parallel universes and what would happen if life on Earth never developed.
Always entertaining and thought provoking, these stories display Asimov’s mastery of the short story form. He remains supreme as the thinking person’s science fiction writer.
Isaac Asimov was born in Russia near Smolensk in 1920. He was brought to the United States by his parents three years later and grew up in Brooklyn. He graduated from Columbia University in chemistry and after a short spell in the Army, gained his doctorate in 1949 and qualified as an instructor in biochemistry at Boston University School of Medicine, where he became Associate Professor in 1955. He retired to full-time authorship in 1958 while retaining his connection with the University. His first story ‘Marooned Off Vesta’ appeared in 1939 in Amazing Stories. Asimov became a regular contributor to the leading SF magazines of the day including Astounding, Astonishing Stories, Super Science Stories and Galaxy. He won the Hugo Award four times and the Nebula Award once. With nearly five hundred books to his credit and several hundred articles, Asimov’s output was prolific by any standards. Isaac Asimov died in 1992 at the age of 72.
