Abstract

The science fiction writer Dr. Isaac Asimov begins the interview by reading “Insert Knob A in Hole B” from his anthology Nightfall and Other Stories. He continues the interview by discussing sociological aspects of science fiction. He then talks about how he came back to science fiction after writing nonfiction for several years, the evolution of his writing style, and the evolution of science fiction in general. Asimov then discusses the controversy behind genetic engineering, gives advice to beginning science fiction writers, and concludes the interview by discussing his works in progress.
