Isaac Asimov!!!! My man...you got me totally!!!
Would love to meet him...we would sit down smoke a lot and talk for hours...this guy could feed my brain till it overloads and burns down!!! What's your fave book of his? I haven't read many, the most well known only..."Buy Jupiter" is a kick ass anthology you should DEFINITELY check...Try A.E. Van Vogt too he kicks some serious ass...the Ringworld is his own creation if you've heard of it...
