RE: Sci-fi Book Hunting in Post-Communism Romania. My Story.
I used to love Asimov as a kid. Now, I can barely remember a single story of his. But occasionally, I watch one of his interviews and I understand why I liked his work so much. He was a real visionary, a futurist, and a highly educated man.
Here's a video of him predicting the Internet, and beyond that, Internet education systems - something like Khan Academy/Coursera:
Incredible.
Thanks for sharing your story; it's good to hear the innocent excitement of a child, and in a way this is a story of rebellion - finding something that makes you happy despite a controlling government.
:) thanks a lot man. I do try to put soul and passion in my stories. I'm sorry you don;'t remember much but it's also an opportunity! You can read it again now and still be surprised.
Yeah, asimov- the person - was a great guy, a smart and honorable man, in a way, he was a lot like his robots. Great video, thanks!
