Yo, Asimov

Arguably the greatest science fiction writer who ever lived, Isaac Asimov possessed one of the most brilliant and creative minds of the 20th century. His curated, approachable style, and his far-reaching interests in subjects ranging from science to humor to history, earned him the nickname "The Great Storyteller." This is the story of the paradoxical genius who wrote about trips to the stars and refused to fly by plane; that he imagined alien universes and vast galactic civilizations while staying home between pages; that he compulsively published over five hundred books and yet found time to share his ideas with some of the great minds of his day. Here are his thoughts and observations, on everything, religion and politics, love and divorce, friendship and censorship, fame and mortality... To follow Asimov on his various journeys is to walk after the steps of a giant A giant aware of his stature -"modesty is not my strong point", he used to say- but who, because of his faith in reason, his naturalness and joviality, pushes sympathy to mix with admiration.
