## Bio

Asimov was born around January 2, 1920, and became a professor of biochemistry at Boston University, but it was his fiction that made him one of the "Big Three" science fiction writers alongside Heinlein and Clarke. His Foundation series, about a fallen space empire, won the one-time Hugo for "Best All-Time Series" in 1966. He built parallel worlds — the Robot series in the mid-1950s with novels like The Caves of Steel, the earlier-set Galactic Empire series — and then in 1986 with Foundation and Earth he linked them all, along with more than 380 short stories including "Nightfall", voted the best short science fiction story of all time in 1964. He also wrote popular science books that traced concepts back to their simplest historical form, guides to the Bible and Shakespeare, mysteries under his own name and juveniles as Paul French, serving as president of the American Humanist Association until his death on April 6, 1992.
