About Author

Isaac Asimov (1920–1992) was an American writer, biochemist, and one of the most prolific and influential authors of the 20th century. Born in Russia and raised in New York City, he earned a PhD in biochemistry from Columbia University and later taught at Boston University.

Asimov is best known for his groundbreaking Science Fiction, particularly the Foundation series and the Robot stories, which introduced the famous Three Laws of Robotics and helped define modern hard science fiction. His work is noted for its emphasis on ideas, logic, and social systems rather than action.

Beyond fiction, Asimov wrote hundreds of nonfiction books and essays on science, history, and literature, aiming to make complex subjects accessible to general readers. Renowned for his clarity, wit, and intellectual curiosity, he left an enduring legacy that continues to shape science fiction, popular science writing, and discussions of artificial intelligence.
