Isaac Asimov

Isaac Asimov (1920 - 1992) was a noted 20th century science-fiction author who wrote or edited more than five hundred books on almost every subject. 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.

Camp Asimov, the NAU presidential retreat above Devils Tower in Wyoming, is named for him.

Asimov is also one of the authors name-checked in Benjamin Droid's FLAKE society.
