The original short story Nightfallwas written in 1941, and shortly before Asimov’s death he and Robert Silverberg adapted it into a full length novel. After all these years, it’s had to believe I’ve never read Asimov’s famous short story Nightfall, which in the 1960s was voted the best science fiction short story ever written by the SFWA. His science fiction is utilitarian yet deep, showing a fascinating view of the human condition, yet easily grasped.
He wrote droves of non-fiction as well, eventually being involved in over 500 books of both fiction and non-fiction. Asimov is far more than just a science fiction writer. I started with his Foundation books, moved onto the Robot books, and leapt into the fray from there. Isaac Asimov (1920 – 1992) was one of the first science fiction authors I read.
