Isaac Asimov

Isaac Asimov was a Russian-born American author and biochemistry professor who became one of the most prolific writers in history. Born in Petrovichi, Russia in 1920, he immigrated to the United States as a child. Asimov wrote or edited more than 500 books spanning nearly every category of the Dewey Decimal System. He is best known for his science fiction, particularly the Foundation series and his robot stories, which established the famous Three Laws of Robotics. His ability to explain complex scientific concepts to general audiences made him equally important as a science communicator and fiction writer.
