Once again, Isaac Asimov journeys from past to present to future, from earth’s recesses to the limits of the universe. Here is a provocative, endlessly fascinating foray from the moons of Jupiter to America’s quadricentennial, from the coming Ice Age to life beyond the solar system.
“The fantastic becomes plausible when Asimov, a sage of science fiction, turns his imagination to science fiction, turns his imagination to science fact. Intriguing.”
-Chicago Tribune
