Most of Asimov's popularized science books explain scientific concepts in a historical way, going as far back as possible to a time when the science in question was at its simplest stage. Asimov wrote the Lucky Starr series of juvenile science-fiction novels using the pen name Paul French. He also wrote mysteries and fantasy, as well as a great amount of nonfiction. He penned numerous short stories, among them 'Nightfall', which in 1964 was voted by the Science Fiction Writers of America the best short science fiction story of all time, a title many still honor.

Asimov's most famous work is the Foundation Series his other major series are the Galactic Empire series and the Robot series, both of which he later tied into the same fictional universe as the Foundation Series to create a unified 'future history' for his stories much like those pioneered by Robert A.

O mérito principal de Asimov consiste, porém, em não apresentar problemas sob forma de tese mas antes em simplificá-los ao leitor, integrando-o, através de uma capacidade admirável para analisar as reacções humanas, no desenrolar dinâmico e fantástico de cada antecipação. NOVE AMANHÃS corresponde também a um estudo lúcido e inteligente dos problemas suscitados ao Homem pelas forças materiais que ele próprio libertou. Portadora de uma série de visões fantásticas, mas verosímeis, do futuro do Homem, esta obra, tanto pelo seu interesse científico e psicológico como pelo seu valor literário, constitui indiscutivelmente o que de melhor escreveu Asimov. NOVE AMANHÃS pode considerar-se, sem sombra de receio, uma autêntica obra-prima no âmbito da «Fantasia Científica».

Considerado justamente como o mais perfeito continuador contemporâneo das criações literárias de Júlio Verne, Isaac Asimov alia aos seus profundos conhecimentos especializados uma imaginação cuja fertilidade parece não conhecer limites.
