Huge thanks to Kim Stanley Robinson for these generous words about T. K. Rex's THE WILDCRAFT DRONES. “These exciting stories...give us a much-needed vision of how things could turn out well, despite the many dangers we are facing. They gave me hope and made me laugh— what a great mix!”

Today is international science fiction day, and also Isaac Asimov's birthday.

Asimov was one of the writer's that "got me going" when I was younger. So here are a selection of his books from my collection. They're dog-eared and tatty for sure, but well-read, beloved, and full of the most amazing ideas and stories.

As well as being a prolific science fiction author, Asimov wrote in numerous other genres, including non-fiction (The Planet That Wasn't, despite the sci-fi sounding title, is actually a collection of non-fiction science articles!), children's and YA stories, detective mysteries, and even wrote a history of the bible.

Thanks for all the memories, Isaac!
