In these years, the young boy with the thick horn-rimmed glasses dived into the fantastic world of Jules Verne and Edgar Allan Poe. The editions of Amazing Stories, which were displayed in his father’s shop, were his first contact with science fiction, although he was only allowed to read “officially” science fiction after Science Wonder Stories had appeared and he had convinced his father that this was valuable reading because “science” was included in the title. As a result, he had little contact with his peers and became a frequent reader early on, taught himself how to read at the age of five and possessed the membership card of a loan library at the age of seven. His father acquired American citizenship in 1926 and bought a candy shop where Isaac had to help from the beginning. His Jewish parents emigrated to the USA in 1923 and Asimov grew up in Brooklyn, New York. Isaac Asimov was born on 2 January 1920 in Petrovichy near Smolensk, in Russian SFSR.
“I began as a science fiction writer, and for the first eleven years of my literary career I wrote nothing but science fiction stories” But this was just one of his numerous works, since the author wrote or edited over 500 books and about 90000 letters during his lifetime. These Three Laws of Robotics, which Asimov‘s robots of the science fiction world he created were supposed to obey, were established while writing his short story ‘ Runaround‘, which was published in 1942. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws. A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.ģ.
