4. The Last Question -- Isaac Asimov Isaac Asimov s Last Question. The Last Question by Isaac Asimov © 1956. The last question was asked for the first time, half in jest, on May 21, 2061, http://www.multivax.com/last_question.html

The last question was asked for the first time, half in jest, on May 21, 2061, at a time when humanity first stepped into the light. The question came about as a result of a five dollar bet over highballs, and it happened this way: Alexander Adell and Bertram Lupov were two of the faithful attendants of Multivac. As well as any human beings could, they knew what lay behind the cold, clicking, flashing face miles and miles of face of that giant computer. They had at least a vague notion of the general plan of relays and circuits that had long since grown past the point where any single human could possibly have a firm grasp of the whole. Multivac was self-adjusting and self-correcting. It had to be, for nothing human could adjust and correct it quickly enough or even adequately enough so Adell and Lupov attended the monstrous giant only lightly and superficially, yet as well as any men could. They fed it data, adjusted questions to its needs and translated the answers that were issued. Certainly they, and all others like them, were fully entitled to share In the glory that was Multivac's. For decades, Multivac had helped design the ships and plot the trajectories that enabled man to reach the Moon, Mars, and Venus, but past that, Earth's poor resources could not support the ships. Too much energy was needed for the long trips. Earth exploited its coal and uranium with increasing efficiency, but there was only so much of both.

Profiled by Galen Strickland Isaac Asimov (1920-1992) - born in Petrovichi, Russia, although the exact date is questionable. His parents emigrated to the U. S. in 1923 and Isaac became a citizen five years later. His father owned a succession of candy stores in Brooklyn which also featured some magazines, and it was there the precociously intelligent young boy encountered the multitude of SF and adventure pulps which flourished during this period. Although not active in fandom himself he was for a time associated with a group of hopeful writers known as the Futurians, whose membership included James Blish, Damon Knight, Frederik Pohl , and Donald A. Wollheim, among others. Photo by Kurt Muller He majored in chemistry at Columbia University, obtaining an undergraduate degree at the age of nineteen and a Masters just two years later. Following research work for the Navy at the Philadelphia Air Experimental Station during World War 2 - alongside fellow SF authors Robert A. Heinlein and L. Sprague De Camp - as well as two years Army service after the war, he received his PhD in 1948. In 1949 he became an associate professor of biochemistry at the Boston University School of Medicine. He retired from that position in 1958 in order to devote himself to a full-time writing career, although he did retain the title itself. He would later be honored with a full professorship in recognition of his efforts in the advancement of the understanding of science. Asimov is arguably the most influential genre writer ever, especially considering the vast body of his work devoted to areas of interest outside of SF. Of the more than 400 books in his bibliography (or over 500, depending on your critieria and whose list you use), fully two-thirds of them are non-fiction on subjects as wide-ranging as chemistry, astronomy, physics and other scientific disciplines, all the way to commentaries on Shakespeare and the Bible. The quintessential Renaissance Man, he must be considered one of, if not the most intelligent exponent of SF, and all of his work, both his fiction and his non-fiction, bears witness to a logical and methodical scientific mind.

20. Isaac Asimov Interview Done in 1988 by a Polish fan, an interesting insight to asimov. http://www.slawcio.com/asimov.html

DR ISAAC ASIMOV TALKS WITH SLAWEK WOJTOWICZ Version française Po polsku SW: If you ask any SF fan in Poland "who is Isaac Asimov?" he or she will answer without any hesitation - "one of the greatest SF writers in the World". You might be surprised to learn that you are so famous in a country where only a small fraction of your works has been translated into the native language and the majority of people cannot read English. But an average Polish fan wouldn't be able to say much about Isaac Asimov as a person. What could you tell us about your life? IA: Well, I was born in the Soviet Union in 1920, came to the United States with my family in 1923 and lived in New York since. I got my Ph.D. at Columbia University in 1948. I'm married and have two children from my first marriage. I started reading Science-Fiction when I was nine years old. I sold my first story when I was eighteen and my first book when I was thirty. Since then I have published 394 books. I have twenty five other books in press. Some of these are mysteries, some are children' books, others are on straight science, literary subjects, humor, mythology - on everything I can think of.
