Heinlein and was considered one of the Big Three Sci-Fi book writers during his lifetime. His famous work is The Foundation Series his major other series are Robot series, Galactic Empire series.
Asimov was born between 1919-1920 in Petrovichi in the Soviet Republic to Judah Asimov and Anna Rachael, a family of Jewish millers. Even though his birth is with that range, he celebrated it on January 2nd. His family relocated to the United States when he was three years, and since his parents always spoke English and Yiddish, Asimov never learned Russian but remained fluent in English and Yiddish.
Asimov started reading Sci-Fi magazine at a young age. His father forbids him from reading pulps and often considered them to be trash but Asimov persuaded his father because they had science in the title, they were educated. At the age of eleven, Asimov began writing stories, and at the age of 18, he joined a science fiction fan club, Futurians where he met some friends who later became editors or science fiction writers. At that same age, Asimov also sold his first story to a sci-fi magazine.
He attended New York City public schools aged five including Boys High School based in Brooklyn where he graduated at 15 and later went to Seth Low Junior in Downtown Brooklyn, a college designed to absorb Italian, Jewish-American students. Initially majoring in zoology, Asimov then switched to chemistry after his first semester because he disapproved dissecting a cat.
Asimov career is divided into several sections, his early career that was dominated by science fiction which began with short stories in 1939 and later novels in 1950. This period lasted until 1958 after The Naked Sun was published. Then in 1952, he started writing nonfiction, then after the orbit of the first human-made satellite by the USSR in 1957, Asimov works of nonfiction particularly in science fiction significantly increased but affected his science fiction output.
Over the next quarter century, Asimov wrote more science fiction books and the second of his science fiction career started after the publication of Fountains Edge. From then, Asimov published more prequels and sequels to his existing books tying them in a way that he had initially anticipated, thus making a unified series.
