It's January 2nd, Science Fiction Day. On or about this day in 1920, prolific science-fiction writer Isaac Asimov was born in 🇷🇺 Petrovichi, Russia. He emigrated with his family to 🇺🇸 America when he was three years old, and grew up in Brooklyn, New York. As an adult, Asimov became a biochemist, but he gradually abandoned that career in favor of his passion – science-fiction writing. He wrote or edited about 500 volumes before he passed away in 1992, the most famous being his 🧮 "Foundation," 👑 "Galactic Empire," and 🤖 "Robot" series. He also coined the word "robotics" and introduced the world to the "Three Laws of Robotics."
In honor of Asimov's substantial contributions to the science-fiction genre, the Hallmark Channel and Scholastic Corporation organized the first annual US National Science Fiction Day on this day in 2012. The event has grown in popularity throughout the US over the years and has now begun to take hold throughout the 🌌 universe.
So, kick back today and let your imagination run wild with a good 📚 sci-fi novel, 📰 short story, 💥 comic book, 📺 TV show, or 🎥 movie. You won't be disappointed if you choose from a master like Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Robert A. Heinlein, Ray Bradbury, Arthur C. Clarke, Frank Herbert, Mary Shelley, George Orwell, Michael Crichton, Frederik Pohl, Gene Roddenberry, George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, or of course Isaac Asimov. ☮️ Peace… Jamiese of Pixoplanet
