Conversations With Isaac Asimov (Literary Conversations Series) Carl Howard Freedman

His "Foundation" trilogy paved the way for science fiction that was more speculative and philosophical than had been previously seen in the genre, and his book "I, Robot" and his story "The Bicentennial Man" have been made into popular movies.
