Arguably the greatest science fiction writer who ever lived, Isaac Asimov also possessed one of the most brilliant and original minds of our time. His accessible style and far-reaching interests in subjects ranging from science to humor to history earned him the nickname "the Great Explainer." I. Asimov is his personal story--vivid, open, and honest--as only Asimov himself could tell it.
Here is the story of the paradoxical genius who wrote of travel to the stars yet refused to fly in airplanes; who imagined alien universes and vast galactic civilizations while staying home to write; who compulsively authored more than 470 books yet still found the time to share his ideas with some of the great minds of our century.
Here are his wide-ranging thoughts and sharp-eyed observations on everything from religion to politics, love and divorce, friendship and Hollywood, fame and mortality. Here, too, is a riveting behind-the-scenes look at the varied personalities--Campbell, Ellison, Heinlein, Clarke, del Rey, Silverberg, and others--who along with Asimov helped shape science fiction.
As unique and irrepressible as the man himself, I. Asimov is the candid memoir of an incomparable talent who entertained readers for nearly half a century and whose work will surely endure into the future he so vividly envisioned.

阿西莫夫的自传和他的小说一样好看。很喜欢他的style，平实，清晰，精准。

这个必须看英文原版，语句朴实简单，阅读没有障碍；不过是真的厚，得有耐心慢慢读。阿西莫夫粉丝必读！

接近25小时的有声书。这是阿西莫夫最后一本自传，我从2022年听到2023年，做菜的时候、泡茶的时候、睡前无聊的时候……真开心，遇到这本书——阿西莫夫是多酷多有趣一个人啊！旁人眼中的口出狂言，也不过是实话实说而已；接近结尾处，他对衰老和死亡的叙述又多么打动人心！哪天若能时空旅行了，真想穿越到80年代的纽约和他共进午餐

看这本书的经历挺奇妙的。前面感觉过于琐碎平淡，后来慢慢又看出了兴趣。越发觉得跟自己有很多共鸣，比如理性，比如一些价值观。生活本就是在平淡中孕育快乐。生老病死，说来太抽象，看完本书以后，有种仿佛经历过一次的感觉。阿西莫夫的文风也是我喜欢的，平淡而真切，如果我自己写书，应该也是如此吧
