#12 – Isaac Asimov Part 1 – A Reader’s History of Science Fiction
Isaac Asimov was own of the most prolific authors of the golden age of sci-fi, especially when it comes to short stories. In this episode, we explore an overview of his work. Book recommendation: The End of Eternity. “The Last Question”: Full Text Narrated by Leonard Nimoy A cool fan-made illustrated version I found. My analysis of Trantor.
Jules Verne was perhaps the first author to systematically incorporate the latest science into his work, becoming one of the biggest minds behind the idea of science fiction. Yet his focus wasn’t so much on sci-fi as it was on adventure fiction. In this episode I explore how he contributed to the development of the genre.
Book recommendation: Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas by Jules Verne.
