Isaac Asimov was an American author and professor of biochemistry. He is credited for the new age of science fiction writing. He was born on 2nd January 1920 in Russia. After the migration of his family to United States, his father started a chain of candy shops. By the age of five, Isaac was an enthusiastic reader. At the age of eleven, he began writing science fiction stories and by nineteen, he got his first story ‘Marooned off Vesta’ published. He was recognized as a serious writer of science fiction with a story called ‘Night Fall’. It was a story about a planet, where night came after every 2049 years. This story was voted as the best science fiction short story ever written by the Science Fiction Writers of America in 1968. Isaac Asimov wrote over 500 books on poetry, science and mystery. He also wrote guides to the Bible and Shakespeare. One of his masterpieces ‘I Robot’ was made into a film in 2004.

Blakeslee Award for ‘The Living River’, the James T. Grady Award of the American Chemical Society and the Westinghouse Science Writing Award. Once Asimov said, “If you want to be a prolific writer, you have to be a single-minded, driven non-stop person. Sounds horrible, doesn’t it? Well, then, concentrate on being a good writer, and leave prolific for those poor souls who can’t help it.” However, he died in 1992.
