I found your treatise on Asimov, Robots & Foundations when looking for an Asimov timeline in order to re-read/enjoy his books in order.
By chance I discovered the followup books by Bear, Brin, and Benford and that lead me to go back 40 years and start over.
I had gotten away from Speculative Fiction because so much was mixed in with fantasy, which I donot enjoy. Recently I discovered Card and added him to my old list of Asimov, Heinlein, Clarke, Blish, VanVogh and other “old-time” SF writers I’m again enjoying.
Anyway I tried to find if you had any additions to look forward to by going to your (assumed) website: http://www.sikander.org/ but found only an example of droll humor.
I’ll search further, but wanted to thank you for your monograph, which I copied for my info and express my well wishes to a perceived kindred SF reader. _sa
You’re very welcome.
This website has been neglected for years and the latest posts are indeed droll humour. I hope to change that soon.
It’s 2016 and I was looking for more good stuff! Really enjoyed the Asimov bit myself and it helped much in a discussion of the future of AI. Thanks for all your work.
