Interesting, thanks for the info

No problem! Obviously, I like talking about this stuff. And if you're interested, I'd also recommend reading the whole book. It's pretty fascinating, although in his reminiscing and pontificating, Asimov does get a little "get off my lawn" for my taste at times.

great name! I found a first edition of his in a basement bookstore in Switzerland as a teen. Totally random, I know.

Thanks! And it's not too random, I'd say; we're in a sci-fi forum talking about historical sci-fi writers, many of whom were also trained as scientists, after all.
