Isaac Asimov (1920 \u2013 1992) was an American writer and professor. In his time, he was considered one of the \u201cBig Three\u201d most influential science fiction writers of his day, along with Robert A. Heinlein and Arthur C. Clarke. He wrote or edited over 500 works, including the Foundation series, the first three books of which won the Hugo Award for \u201cBest All-Time Series\u201d in 1966. His other major series are the Galactic Empire series, and the Robot series.\xa0

Asimov is also known for inventing terms which are now commonplace. He coined the phrase \u201crobotics\u201d in his 1941 story, \u201cLiar\u201d. Also, the word psychohistory, having to do with a fictional branch of science that combines statistics, science, and history, to make predictions about the future. This concept is explored in his Foundation series.\xa0

Today\u2019s story was first published in the February 1957 issue of Infinity magazine. Extensive research did not uncover that the U.S. copyright was renewed.\xa0
