Biography and Works
Isaac Asimov was born in Russia and came to the US at three years old. He was an author of science fiction, popular science, and history, as well as a professor of biochemistry. His first published story appeared in Amazing Stories in 1939, and he was eventually mentored and published by John W. Campbell, Jr.
The influence of his Robot and Foundations series on science fiction as a genre would be difficult to overstate. His Three Laws of Robotics have greatly influenced any consideration of robots since. Asimov published prolifically and won dozens of awards for his work, including Hugos, Nebulas, and Locus awards. He published in many pulp serials, and eventually gave his name to Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine (aka Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine).
His greatness as an author is tarnished by his sexual harassment of women at conventions and elsewhere (Wikipedia - Isaac Asimov).
