No one would have guessed that this story would become such a major part of science fiction’s “zero hour”. Along with authors such as Arthur C. Clarke and Robert A. Heinlein, Asimov would help form the foundation of modern science fiction and explore new concepts that would soon become the commonplace of the genre. Overall, Asimov had an undeniable impact on the science fiction genre as a whole, through his innovations.
Asimov began writing during a time when the science fiction genre was just beginning to develop. Though the foundation had been laid by earlier authors such as H.G. Wells and Jules Verne, the true nature of the genre

    Technology began with the invention of communication by means of using simple tools; however, society’s needs evolved as did the types of technology available to be used. Literary short stories, “Harrison Bergeron” written by Kurt Vonnegut, and the “Pedestrian” written by Ray Bradbury, demonstrates how a society excessively dependent on technology could ultimately be controlled by outside influences, resulting in the eventual loss of themselves and their personal ideologies. In the “Pedestrian”, the city was portrayed as being desolate, without activity due to the death of magazine, books, and the emergence of people. According to Mr, Mead “ [He] had not written in years because magazine and books didn’t sell any longer...…

    Tom Godwin’s “Cold Equations” and Ray Bradbury’s “The Pedestrian” both share similarities in their respective views on the effect of technology on human freedom and individuality in the future. In “Cold Equations”, if a human stows away on an EDS ship, the computer systems of that ship’s calculations for the exact amount of fuel needed to get from point A to point B would be incorrect: “Additional fuel would be used during the hours of deceleration to compensate for the added mass of the stowaway”, which would infinitesimally miscalculate “increments of fuel that would not be missed until the ship has almost reached its destination” (Godwin 9). Ultimately, Barton, the EDS pilot, had to, by law, “... jettison [Marilyn] immediately following discovery” (Godwin 9).…

Even though eventually Earth, no matter what is done will no longer be able to accommodate human life causing the need to expand beyond.

Also “Air Raid” by John Varley which tells the story of people from the future who are snatching humans from the past to live on a faraway planet in order for the human race to continue. As…

    Techonlogy's Effect on the Past and the Future Ray Bradbury's story "A Sound of Thunder" is a stronger work of science fiction than Gloria Skurzynski's "Nethergrave" because it really shows that one mistake can make a huge impact on the future of the world, as well as the great characterization, some points made me feel like I was really in the story. I felt that Bradbury's story was more interesting than Skurzynski's story. It seemed that Bradbury's idea was that one small thing could change the future drastically , in this case in a negative way. In the story the characters use a time machine to travel to the late Jurassic Era. Eckels made a big mistake that cost him his life.…

    Literary Analysis of The Metamorphosis and Axolotl Franz Kafka’s novella The Metamorphosis and Julio Cortazar’s short story Axolotl are not only based off of the writers themselves; they also exhibit a plethora of similar themes and concepts, including absurdism, alienation, Marxism, and magic realism. Oftentimes in fictional literature, traces of emotions exhibited by characters and events that occur within the fictional work are heavily influenced by the writer’s own dilemmas. This parallel between the writer and the fictional work is demonstrated in Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis, where the transformation of the protagonist, Gregor Samsa, ultimately represents the guilt the writer is experiencing as a result of his nonfictional conflicts. Throughout many of Kafka’s literary works, the influence his dictatorial father left on him is exhibited, including the novella The Metamorphosis.…

    As the age of postmodernism dawned, the stigma and nature of literature changed and the idea of the ‘death of the author’ was born. Instead of reaching obvious conclusions in their stories, authors began to leave gaps and ironies in their work, allowing readers to form their own opinions. But, while some people are not satisfied with the idea of these ‘open systems,’ perhaps the most significant pieces of work were born during this era of postmodernism. For example, Thomas Pynchon’s short story “Entropy.” In his work, Pynchon uses two main characters to represent the diversity of the world in terms of closed systems, while pointing out the ironic flaws of the consumerist at the same time.…

    It is a common misconception that science and literature are opposed. The common belief held is that the two cannot coexist because scientists are too focused on science and authors are too focused on the humanities. However, there is much blending between the two, with many scientists becoming authors and many authors taking an appreciation to science. As evidence, Michael Frayn’s Copenhagen is a perfect example as to how the two can cohabitate the same plane of knowledge and work together in unison to create something more educational and entertaining. Copenhagen is a play written by Michael Frayn that highlights a meeting between two globally known physicists, Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg, in Bohr’s house in Copenhagen.…
