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.
>>
>>8073766
Overrated as a sci-fi author but underrated as an author in general
>>
His works havent aged really well.
>>
>>8073766

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.
>>
>>8073766

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.
>>
>>8073766
looks as a flea-bitten lion
>>
>>8073766

He really looks like an older, side-burned jeff goldblum
>>
>>8073766
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...
>>
>>8073766
haha flight of the concords must be fans.
>>
>>8073766
Intelligent, but kind of a tool. Too pretentious.
