I always loved reading Isaac Asimov as a kid, but his stories don’t seem to age well. Here’s my thoughts on reading Asimov nowadays — my third article for The Atlantic — on the occasion of the centennial of his birth:

Re Asimov at 100: This might be the first opinion priece I’m disgusted with. You clearly never gave a fraction of the consideration that you do for Star Trek to Asimov’s work. I’d like to discuss this More, you can reach me at Artem.panasenkov@gmail.com

Why be disgusted?

Thank you both for your feedback! I knew that this article might provoke strong reactions for some. It’s just my way of working through the issues with a writer who I greatly respect, but don’t enjoy reading as much as I once did.

Mr Lindell, I notice you did not make mention of this article. It’s not 10 000 years into the future being discussed, but the general idea seems to be “psychohistory”. I wouldn’t count the idea of providing “probability of an event” type information in the future if not an exact, low granularity prediction.
