Isaac Asimov is considered one of the greats of 20th century science fiction. Again, while most famous for writing science fiction he wrote much more than just that.

Isaac Asimov has won scores of Hugo Awards for stories and for Best Editor; dozens of Nebula Awards; several World Fantasy Awards; over a dozen Theodore Sturgeon Awards and Homer Awards; and multiple Sidewise Awards1. He has won Hugo Awards for Best Related Work, Best Novelette, and Best Editor.

He wrote 40 novels and a lot of short stories, and is a great read almost always. He also wrote textbooks because he was just amazing.

Yes, and the idea of spotting a rare fanciful cow while cowatching.

Unless you were early eighties baby and introduced to BBS at a remarkably young age like me. Oregon Trail generation FTW.

Nah, that's more related to the episode named 'Lower Decks' I think.

The meme is correct. I can't bring myself to rewatch it in your link.

That said... good game and plenty to be pleased about.

Interesting read. Thank you.

Same. Could use a reread. What a great book.

Yep. I found it fascinating. I think the version I had probably had a forward from Asimov talking about how we were wrong about guesses about Venus.

I don't remember much else from the story except this, and the big reveal of the whodunnit. (Or more accurately the how).
