About the author
Isaac Asimov
4,337 books27.8k followersWorks of prolific Russian-American writer Isaac Asimov include popular explanations of scientific principles,
The Foundation Trilogy
(1951-1953), and other volumes of fiction.
Isaac Asimov, a professor of biochemistry, wrote as a highly successful author, best known for his books.
Asimov, professor, generally considered of all time, edited more than five hundred books and ninety thousand letters and postcards. He published in nine of the ten major categories of the Dewey decimal classification but lacked only an entry in the category of philosophy (100).
People widely considered Asimov, a master of the genre alongside Robert Anson Heinlein and Arthur Charles Clarke as the "big three" during his lifetime. He later tied Galactic Empire and the Robot into the same universe as his most famous series to create a unified "future history" for his stories much like those that Heinlein pioneered and Cordwainer Smith and Poul Anderson previously produced. He penned "Nightfall," voted in 1964 as the best short story of all time; many persons still honor this title. He also produced well mysteries, fantasy, and a great quantity of nonfiction. Asimov used Paul French, the pen name, for the Lucky Starr, series of juvenile novels.
Most books of Asimov in a historical way go as far back to a time with possible question or concept at its simplest stage. He often provides and mentions well nationalities, birth, and death dates for persons and etymologies and pronunciation guides for technical terms. Guide to Science, the tripartite set Understanding Physics, and Chronology of Science and Discovery exemplify these books.
Asimov, a long-time member, reluctantly served as vice president of Mensa international and described some members of that organization as "brain-proud and aggressive about their IQs." He took more pleasure as president of the humanist association. The asteroid 5020 Asimov, the magazine Asimov's Science Fiction, an elementary school in Brooklyn in New York, and two different awards honor his name.

No se si fue este el libro q leí, se llamaba Amanecer, pero no lo encuentro, así q XD
Leí dos relatos nada mas, but hell yeah I'm counting it!
La primera era de realidades alternativas y una pareja en un tren, y estaba chula
La segunda era de un tio q veia el mismo apellido por todas partes durante un día, pero estaban todos mal escritos y al final encontró a un ancestros suyo en un parque. Estaba, bueno...
Me gusta ver como crea los personajes, y sobre todo con el primer relato, siento como si los dos personajes principales ya tienen mucha profundidad y q ya son personas, por así decirlo. Y eso q el relato era de 18 paginas! (la segunda era de 10, btw ;D)
Así q me ha dado un poco de inspiracion en plan base de personajes y de como dar un poco de background story y luego presente, etc etc.
Así q si, me habrá servido de algo leer estos dos relatos :D

Le pongo la máxima puntuación por dos razones. Una porque es Asimov (Si con Van Halen la guitarra, Isaac con los relatos de ci-fi. Más claro, el agua) y otra porque entre historias, en esta recopilación de los primeros años de Asimov, él mismo te comenta la jugada como si de un making off se tratara. Todo con el humor que le caracterizaba, pasándolo pipa mientras te enteras como empezó este clásicazo literario (Sus aventuras en la tienda de chuches de su padre, etc.).
Hay un par de relatos (Un ensayo ficticio y otro político, concretamente) que me han parecido un rollazo, pero no por ello los he visto malos.
