I was going to ask, somewhat facetiously, whether Asimov wrote "social science fiction" rather than science fiction.
Fortunately, I googled the phrase before embarrassing myself. Turns out he all-but-invented the phrase to describe his own work.
I suppose he had no such illusions.
- kefka 13y agoYeah.. There was that little Foundations trilogy that dealt specifically with psychohistorical studies.
- James_Duval 13y agoYes, that was why I thought of Asimov. The thing I was unaware of was that Asimov did actually think of his writing as social science fiction.
