Isaac Asimov (1920-1992) was an American author of hard science fiction and popular science books in addition to being a professor at Boston University. He is considered to be one of the greatest science fiction authors of all time. Asimov is most well known for his Foundation series as well as his Galactic Empire and Robot series (all comprising the Greater Foundation universe). Asimov also wrote mystery and fantasy fiction, proving his versatility as an author.

Isaac Asimov became a published fiction author in 1950 with Pebble in the Sky – the first of the Galactic Empire series. He would quickly follow that up with the short story collection I, Robot that was much later adapted into a feature film starring Will Smith. Below is a list of Isaac Asimov’s books in order of when they were originally published (and in chronological order):
