  It would be impossible for most people to publish 400 books even m dozens of lifetimes. But author extraordinary Isaac Asimov has produced that remarkable output during his 41-year book career and shows no signs of slowing down.

  Many Asimov's science and science fiction works deal with space travelsuch as his classic Foundation Trilogyyet, Asimov himself is a serious homebody. He would be perfectly happy never leaving his Manhattan apartment, where he lives with his wife, psychiatrist author Janet Jeppson. “I travel in my writing to the far ends of the universe,” he says, “so I don't have to travel in real life.” And that includes going into space. Even if invited, he wouldn't want to go.

  But he enthusiastically supports the space movement, serving on the NSS Board of Governors. Asimov, a workaholic who says he wants to end his days “face down on my typewriter” spends eight hours a day, seven days a week at the keyboard. The Russian-born son of American immigrants, Asimov (1920 ~ ) began writing science fiction at age 11. His first story appeared in print when he was 18. As he continued writing, he completed college, earning a Ph.D. in chemistry.

  Known mainly as a science fiction writer, Asimov is also an essayist, journalist, biographer and humorist. Over the years, he has won dozens of awards, including the title Grandmaster of Science Fiction.
