    Asimov's triumphant return to science fiction after quite a long break! Oddly, this was published in three parts: the first in "Galaxy", the second in "IF", and the third back in "Galaxy"! First time I've ever seen one story serialized in two magazines! Great review and another awesome video!

    Wonderful review. I haven't read any Asimov yet. This maybe a good place to start. Thanks.
  • I've only read a collection of Asimov's short stories so far, and that was only because I thought I'd lost my copy of The Gods Themselves! Then I remembered I gave it to my brother years ago, lol. I'll have to track down another copy so I can finally give it a try, since I'm only interested in Asimov's stand-alone novels and he doesn't seem to have too many of those. Thanks for the review!
  • The aliens in some ways remind me of the aliens in Xenogenesis by Octavia Butler... hers of course are more "solid".
