It is impresive how such a brilliant man, as a biochemist, developed one of the best series of human history, without being a specialist of the area. I am talking about the so called "World History Asimov", a series of 14 volumes. Besides being intelligent, he had a huge culture that can be seen in his incredible series, that explains greatly a lot of periods and topics. Just brilliant
Asimov actually did not study Biochemistry in college. Yes, he studied Chemistry but Biochemistry was not the focus. He has written in his autobiography that he only started to study Biochemistry once he got the job as a Biochemistry professor.
The way his son got busted with the biggest child (rimes with scorn) collection and got 0 days in jail is a little strange ... His remark about being sexually attracted to his daughter is creepy too

One thing that blew my mind was that he had trouble with a college math course and so he switched to Biochemistry.

Isaac Asimov was like Ernest Hemingway. Neither writer gave his readers anything to work with.
The sole person Asimov acknowledged as more intelligent than himself was Carl Sagan!
And Marvin Minsky.
Asimov suffered from agoraphobia, which is why his future cities tended to be domed, if not underground.
Just like Nikola Tesla, at the end of his life.
He married a pigeon like Tesla ?
