Isaac Asimov, a message to the future
With more than 500 publications, Isaac Asimov is considered as the father of science fiction. Thirty years after his death, he is coming back, thanks to the artificial intelligence that he had so cleverly imagined. He is peaking to humans to give them a lesson of lifetime: a method to anticipate the future of our world and, especially, to make it up.
