 * Isaac Asimov is a writer of science fiction, as-well as a Professor of Biochemistry. He had also loved to write books. According to Biography, ”Over his astonishing and prolific career he wrote or edited over 500 books and over 90,000 letters, with his published work landing in nine out of the 10 major categories of the almost-outdated Dewey Decimal System”(“7 Fun Facts About…”). With him writing and editing over 500 books, as well as 90,000 letters, he had obviously loved writing. Asimov was very interested in writing books for example, one book he wrote was I, Robot, which was science fiction. Isaac Asimov had also loved writing limericks, and mostly “dirty” ones. As a reporter explains again, “He published multiple volumes of limericks, and considered himself a ‘limericist’ ”(“7 Fun Facts...”). With all of this stated, Isaac Asimov had loved the subject of writing, in many forms, whether it being a science fiction book, letters, or limericks. **

 *  Isaac Asimov was an American author and professor at Boston University. We was well known for his science fiction and popular science books. Isaac, wrote and edited over 500 books whose audience was everyone who was interested in learning about someone else’s point of view on the future. He also wrote an estimated 90,000 letters and postcards. Isaac spent most of his life in solitude writing famous science fiction stories,”Those people who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do” (Isaac Asimov, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Asimov). **
 *  The reason that people are interested in Isaac Asimov’s books are that in the year 1839, the year he started writing short stories, there were no books and no theories of the year 2014. This made his books interesting even though his theories turned out to be incorrect. Isaac also wrote fictional stories which were found fascinating be readers here Mervyn Rothstein says ,” **
 * Mr. Asimov was amazingly prolific,” (The NYtimes). And those are the reasons that audiences like Isaac’s work. (https://www.nytimes.com/books/97/03/23/lifetimes/asi-v-obit.html) **

**Isaac Asimov in, history influenced people, not just by his books, but by the way that he interpreted science so that the whole world could understand, according to wikipedia. According to Joel Williams, “ Isaac asimov wrote an estimated 515 books” (“7 reasons why…”). Williams full sentence says “Asimov, in dramatic contrast, was one of the most prolific writers of all time, having written and edited an estimated over 515, not including short stories” (“7 reasons why…”). Another impact that Asimov had on the world was “With the advent of World War 2, Asimov moved to Philadelphia to work as a junior chemist at the U.S. Naval Air experimental station” (NMDB). Even after being stationed in Hawaii, he still taught science and he did it to naval officers. All of those points show how Isaac Asimov “impacted” the world. He impacted naval officers with the gift of knowledge, even while they were in the military. He also gave us as citizens the gift of literature, writing over 515 stories, he gave us a lot to look forward to. That is how Mr. Isaac Asimov impacted our world historically.**
