What does /lit/ think about Isaac Asimov?
i never think of him
He's good, but I haven't read enough of him or sci-fi in general to really say how good he is within his genre.
I robot is cute teen reading. If you didn't read him then, pass.

Overrated as a sci-fi author but underrated as an author in general
His works havent aged really well.

Mediocre writer with incredible imagination, and a large body of scientific knowledge to create believable sci-fi things.
he is my scifu

This. He can't write but he can think. Should have been a philosopher.

I liked Foundation a lot, and I, Robot was good too. Writing style wasn't the best but I didn't think it was bad.
>The robot was a mind manipulator all along!
Really.

looks as a flea-bitten lion

He really looks like an older, side-burned jeff goldblum

Good ideas, mediocre execution
Read his non-fiction
>>8073766
As other anons have said, good ideas, bad writing. I can understand why you'd enjoy him though, for some people prose style isn't a huge deal.
this thread es narciso...

Intelligent, but kind of a tool. Too pretentious.
