Isaac Asimov was a Russian-born, American author, a professor of biochemistry, and a highly successful writer, best known for his works of science fiction and for his popular science books.

Professor Asimov is generally considered one of the most prolific writers of all time, having written or edited more than 500 books and an estimated 90,000 letters and postcards. He has works published in nine of the ten major categories of the Dewey Decimal System (lacking only an entry in the 100s category of Philosophy).

Asimov is widely considered a master of the science-fiction genre and, along with Robert A. Heinlein and Arthur C. Clarke, was considered one of the "Big Three" science-fiction writers during his lifetime. Asimov's most famous work is the Foundation Series; his other major series are the Galactic Empire series and the Robot series, both of which he later tied into the same fictional universe as the Foundation Series to create a unified "future history" for his stories much like those pioneered by Robert A. Heinlein and previously produced by Cordwainer Smith and Poul Anderson. He penned numerous short stories, among them "Nightfall", which in 1964 was voted by the Science Fiction Writers of America the best short science fiction story of all time, a title many still honor. He also wrote mysteries and fantasy, as well as a great amount of nonfiction. Asimov wrote the Lucky Starr series of juvenile science-fiction novels using the pen name Paul French.

Most of Asimov's popularized science books explain scientific concepts in a historical way, going as far back as possible to a time when the science in question was at its simplest stage. He often provides nationalities, birth dates, and death dates for the scientists he mentions, as well as etymologies and pronunciation guides for technical terms. Examples include his Guide to Science, the three volume set Understanding Physics, and Asimov's Chronology of Science and Discovery.

Asimov was a long-time member and Vice President of Mensa International, albeit reluctantly; he described some members of that organization as "brain-proud and aggressive about their IQs" He took more joy in being president of the American Humanist Association. The asteroid 5020 Asimov, the magazine Asimov's Science Fiction, a Brooklyn, NY elementary school, and two different Isaac Asimov Awards are named in his honor.

For twelve thousand years the Galactic Empire has ruled supreme. Now it is dying. But only Hari Seldon, creator of the revolutionary science of psychohistory, can see into the future -- to a dark age of ignorance, barbarism, and warfare that will last thirty thousand years. To preserve knowledge and save mankind, Seldon gathers the best minds in the Empire -- both scientists and scholars -- and brings them to a bleak planet at the edge of the Galaxy to serve as a beacon of hope for a future generations. He calls his sanctuary the Foundation.

But soon the fledgling Foundation finds itself at the mercy of corrupt warlords rising in the wake of the receding Empire. Mankind's last best hope is faced with an agonizing choice: submit to the barbarians and be overrun -- or fight them and be destroyed.

早就知道阿西莫夫写的这套科幻小说开一代先河经典难撼,一直无缘。出了中文版后嫌贵耗了一个多月,还是没忍住出手了。原来担心翻译质量,看完了觉得还挺满意,除了对台湾式的译名和遣词用句略有不适外,其他也没什么可挑剔的了。 小说的内容绝对精彩,虽然成书时间早(第一篇发...

此书确实是最值得一读的科幻作品。 作为科幻书籍,要想历久弥新非常不容易。毕竟科技在发展,作品中描写的新科技也许已经成为现实甚至过时。至于庞大的星际战争与政治争霸,在其他类作品中屡见不鲜,甚至历史本身比描写更加精彩,更加不可思议。所以更显示出此书的不凡。 作品...

如果你已经是阿西莫夫的粉丝了,这篇小文章不是为你写的,因为你已经知道了这位“神一样的作者”有多牛逼,对后世的影响有多巨大,不用我来多费唇舌。如果你已经读过了任何一本“基地”系列的小说,那这篇文章你也没有必要看了,因为你肯定早就知道了这“人类历史上最好看的系...

1)之前正式出版的基地系列中文简体版,是叶李华先生最早的译本,是他在学生时代译的。 2)十年后,叶李华又重新修订了一遍,改正了很多错漏之处,这便是台湾2005~2007之间出的译本。我们这次出版的2012年中文简体译本,就是以这个译本为基础的。 关于这个译本的介绍,详情请...

第一部對應:帝國崩潰,教會興盛,漢莎同盟崛起,AD400~AD1400,地球上的千年,銀河基地只用一個半世紀。即使情節有些幼稚,設定也比較僵硬,而且有嚴重抄襲《羅馬帝國衰亡史》的嫌疑,但格局和敘事都是巨匠的巔峰。

我总是觉得阿西莫夫的科普书要比他的科幻小说更好看...

Seldon crises are not solved by individuals but by historic forces.Though, A Master becomes one because he has a deep insight into his time

即便贫乏的表现形式,仍不能掩饰其经典光芒。
