Isaac Asimov (January 2, 1920 - April 6, 1992), was a Russian-born American author and biochemist, best known for his prolific career as a science-fiction writer, penning nearly 500 books.
Asimov fell in love with learning from an early age. He even
taught himself how to read by the time he was 5 years old.
During World War II, he worked at the Naval Aviation
Experimental Station in Philadelphia, and after getting his M.A. and Ph.D., he
was hired as an associate professor of biochemistry at Boston University School
of Medicine.
Asimov’s early career was dominated by writing science-fiction short stories. After John W. Campbell (his mentor and editor) rejected his first two works, Asimov finally managed to sell his third one, called "Marooned off Vesta" (1938), to Amazing Stories Magazine.
However, Nightfall (1941), I, Robot (1950)-- later turned into a movie starring Will Smith)-- and the Foundation trilogy (1951) have ranked him as one of the greatest sci-fi writers out there.
While science-fiction was his favorite genre, Asimov has also written books on a wide variety of subjects, such as astronomy, biology, math, religion and literary biography.
Asimov hoped that his ideas would outlive him, and they did,
as the world continues to contemplate on his literary legacy.

Self-education is, I firmly believe, the only kind of education there is. The only function of a school is to make self-education easier; failing that, it does nothing.
Writing, to me, is simply thinking through my fingers.
