This article was written in 1979 for "Southwest Airlines Magazine." I interviewed Isaac Asimov while I was a radio talk show host in Texas. This article is based on that radio program. I honestly do not remember how much of the introduction was changed by the SWA magazine editors. Isaac died in New York City on April 6, 1992, thirteen years after this article was written. By the time of his death (and later, since a few were published after his death), he is credited with compiling, editing or writing over 500 books. He coined the term "robotics."
