INTRODUCTION, by John Betancourt
Isaac Asimov (1920–1992) surely needs little introduction today, even though it’s been 30 years since he passed away. He was an American writer and professor of biochemistry at Boston University, and considered one of the Big Three
classic science fiction writers (along with Robert A. Heinlein and Arthur C. Clarke). The magazine bearing his name is still being published.
Incredibly prolific as a writer, he wrote or edited more than 500 books. He also wrote an estimated 90,000 letters and postcards. He published mysteries, non-fiction, humor, and especially science fiction. He coined the famous Three Laws of Robotics (with help from John W. Campbell, Jr.).
I had the pleasure to work with Asimov on various series books when I was an editor at Byron Preiss Visual Publications (which packaged children’s books based on his work for several other publishers). He was always fun, friendly, and helpful by phone and mail. Socially, I met him several times at science fiction conventions (and though I had worked with him, he never remembered me—doubtless he met so many people, he couldn’t keep us all straight), and I even dined with him once at the Trap Door Spiders—the dining club he belonged to, and upon which he based his Black Widowers mystery series. I remembered, at the time, that he claimed to always be the first to finish his meal (a practice he had developed as a child, when he would wolf down his food to get back to his parents’ candy store), and
