What does /lit/ think of ASIMOV

>I, Robot is an excellent view of the relationship between man and machine

>The Foundation Trilogy is at the top of many reading lists

Overall he's a premier sci-fi writer.

That's what I understand from the introduction.

It's so good though. Why did sci-fi turn into space opera bs? because of the fantasy?

Why did wizards and witches turn into wand waving faggots in 21st century London?

Pseuds can't distinguish between soft sci-fi and fantasy in space bullshit

Can you recommend other similar sci-fi authors?

Frank Herbert from the "soft science" side of things

The Foundation trilogy was great. Every other book that he added to the series was his subconscious attempt to kill it.

>Asimov was born between October 4, 1919 and January 2, 1920[1] in Petrovichi near Klimovichi, then Gomel Governorate in the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (now Smolensk Oblast, Russia) to Anna Rachel (née Berman) and Judah Asimov, a family of Jewish millers.

I mean, it's okay. The Art is great.

I heard his stuff is dry. Is this true?

The idea of Foundation gives me a boner though.

Prelude to the foundation was the blandest piece of undiggested shit Ive ever read en my life
