In 1989, a number of his colleagues assembled an anthology which they called a festschrift to honor the scientific contribution Asimov had made through his fiction, such as the many scientific terms he had coined.

Foundation's Friends, Stories in Honor of Isaac Asimov is a 1989 festschrift honoring science fiction author Isaac Asimov, in the form of an anthology of short stories set in Asimov's universes, particularly the Robot / Empire / Foundation universe.

Foundation's Edge ( 1982 ) is a science fiction novel by Isaac Asimov, the fourth book in the Foundation Series.

In 1981, after the series had long been considered one of the most important works of modern science fiction, Asimov was persuaded by his publishers to write a fourth book, which became Foundation's Edge ( 1982 ).

In 1982, Asimov gave in after a thirty-year hiatus, and wrote what was at the time a fourth volume: Foundation's Edge.

Then, at some unknown date ( prior to writing Foundation's Edge ) Asimov decided to merge the Foundation / Empire series with his Robot series.

The anthology, entitled Foundation's Friends, included tributes to Thiotimoline, a fictional substance Asimov wrote about during his Ph. D. studies, as well as many tributes to robotics, a term coined by Asimov in the 1941 short story " Liar!

Asimov placed a hint in Foundation's Edge, many years later, that the Eternals might have been responsible for the all-human galaxy ( and the development of humanity on Earth ) of the Foundation Series, but that interpretation is disputed.

The White Plague was nominated for a Locus Award for best science fiction novel in 1983, but lost to Isaac Asimov ’ s novel Foundation's Edge.

* Hugo Award for Best Novel: Foundation's Edge by Isaac Asimov

It might be an accidental use of the same technology — Asimov hints at a connection in Foundation's Edge, but never definitely settled the point.

( Asimov also carried out this unification in his novel Foundation's Edge, and its sequels, thus unifying the three series of fiction into a single future history ).

* In the fourth book in the series, Foundation's Edge, Asimov writes that the Mule had been a rogue member of the planet / society Gaia.

In Foundation's Edge Asimov begins to supply the answer, expanded in the other sequels and prequels.

Gaia is a fictional planet described in the book Foundation's Edge ( 1982 ) and referred to in Foundation and Earth ( 1986 ), by Isaac Asimov.

From Foundation's Edge it can be surmised that Galaxia culminates in about FE 4000, allowing for further Foundation stories to be interesting until that date, if the Estate of Isaac Asimov were to authorize further stories ( Vis-a-vis Donald Kingsbury's novel, Psychohistorical Crisis ).

When Asimov returned to his future history with Foundation's Edge ( 1982 ), he no longer thought a nuclear war could make the crust radioactive without destroying all life.

According to his autobiographical writings Asimov included the First Law's " inaction " clause because of Arthur Hugh Clough's poem " The Latest Decalogue ", which includes the satirical lines " Thou shalt not kill, but needst not strive / officiously to keep alive ".

The companion book, which also showcases McQuarrie's illustrations ( and includes Asimov essays in addition to short stories ), is entitled Robot Visions.

As detailed by his wife in It's Been a Good Life, Asimov intended to write a sequel, but his attempts were fruitless.

Four years later, Asimov followed up with yet another sequel, Foundation and Earth ( 1986 ), which was followed by the prequels Prelude to Foundation ( 1988 ) and Forward the Foundation ( 1993 ).

In the Galactic Empire series, taking place thousands of years later ( originally conceived as completely separate but made by Asimov in his later career into the direct sequel of the Robot Period ), Earth and settlements from it are still clearly remembered in The Stars, Like Dust.

Despite the title, Fantastic Voyage II: Destination Brain is not a sequel to Fantastic Voyage, which is a novelization that Asimov wrote from the 1966 film of the same name.

In 1958, to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the story's appearance, Asimov wrote a sequel called Anniversary set twenty years after the original.
