Isaac Asimov was born in Petrovichi, near Smolensk, in the Soviet Union. In 1923, his family moved to the United States, to New York, where Isaac later completed his studies. He became the most well-known and beloved science fiction writer thanks to a combination of literary invention and scientific truth that managed to make his books both plausible and fantastic, true mirrors of a possible future. His books include: “I, Robot,” “The Second Book of Robots,” and the Foundation series (“The Galaxy Chronicles,” “The Collapse of the Central Galaxy,” and “The Spiral Transition”).
