It will soon be January 2, 2020, the hundredth anniversary of Isaac Asimov’s birth (or possibly some number of days or weeks past the actual anniversary, but the great man celebrated January second as his birthday). I know that Asimov’s writing is open to criticism; subtle characterization was not his strong point, nor was understanding of religion. Nonetheless, he also had his merits and skills, and I remember reading books like The Currents of Space and The End of Eternity with delight as a child. I also remember going on to read many of his essays and other science popularization, to which I owe some part of my general knowledge of science and other topics.

Wherever you may be, Dr. A, and even if I don’t agree with you about some things, you did more than your share to educate the public, and to give literary experiences to those who can appreciate your kind of writing. “Mazel tov, it’s Asimov.”
