Asimov was a people person though. He wasn't a nerd in the typical sense; he went to parties, conventions, meetings, mingled with people, belonged to multiple clubs, etc.
From Wikipedia:
> "Asimov was an able public speaker and was regularly hired to give talks about science. He was a frequent participant at science fiction conventions, where he was friendly and approachable. He patiently answered tens of thousands of questions and other mail with postcards and was pleased to give autographs."
I think that, in driving home a valid point, this essay gives the wrong impression of Asimov as someone who would scold his readers.
