I have read a few of Asimov lately. It says 500 books and 90,000 letters. Seems weird, but I will play. He had 72 years. Let's say he started writing at age 12; that would be 8 books a year more or less. That does not include the letters, presentations, conferences, and whatever else he got up to. My point is that he probably had a lot of help that is not getting credit or maybe he used some AI along the way. I would like more information before I stick him in my genius pile even though I am told he is a genius. It is clear he has had a significant impact on the trajectory we are on right now and was well respected by his peers. He sounds personable in his autobiography which I have mostly finished.
