Touting Asimov

The somewhat pretentiously-named Asimov Online! site is not an official Asimov page, but does contain some interesting information and excellent links to other Asimov sites. A certain amount of arrogance is forgivable, considering the subject of the site; Asimov was certainly one of the most justifiably self-important authors in Science Fiction. The owner of the site offers his own reviews of Asimov's three master series, Robot, Galactic, and Foundation, and information on the continuation of the Foundation series by authors Gregory Benford, Greg Bear, and David Brin, after Asimov's death. The biography of this incredibly prolific writer is fascinating, and the page's author does justice to the tale by including images of Asimov himself, book jackets, and magazine covers. The trivia page is actually a pop quiz on the biography, asking five questions, but not offering verification of the correct answers. The entire site could use a good proofreading and a spellcheck, but it is definitely worth visiting for the biographical information alone.
