Philadelphians are agitating for a historical marker to designate the spot where Isaac Asimov lived during World War II, while working for the Navy at the Naval Aircraft Factory-- having been recruited by Robert Heinlein for the job. Asimov lived far longer in New York or Boston, but the argument goes that some of his most significant stories in the Foundation series and the positronic-robot series were typed in the City of Brotherly Love. Here's a story in . Here's . where such SF luminaries as Gardner Dozois and Michael Swanwick speak about commemorating Asimov. It's rather charming. |
