== Maisha ==
Asimov alizaliwa huko Petrovichi, [[Smolensk Oblast|Smolensk]], [[Urusi]] katika [[familia]] ya [[Wayahudi|Kiyahudi]]. Tarehe ya kuzaliwa haijulikani, ilitokea kati ya 4 Oktoba 1919 na 2 Januari 1920. Alisheherekea sikukuu yake kwenye 2 Januari. Wazazi walihama [[Marekani]] pamoja naye alipokuwa na [[umri]] wa miaka 3. Alijifunza lugha za [[Kiyiddish]] na [[Kiingereza]] tangu utotoni.

Alisoma [[kemia]] kwenye [[Chuo Kikuu cha Columbia]] akahitimu [[Uzamili|shahada ya uzamili]] kwenye mwaka 1941 akaendelea kupokea [[Uzamivu|digrii ya uzamivu (PhD)]] mnamo 1948.  Wakati huohuo aliandika pia masimulizi na vitabu. Tangu 1951 alikuwa profesa kwenye Chuo Kikuu cha Boston ilhali aliendelea kuandika.

Baada ya mafanikio ya kitabu chake ''The Naked Sun (1957)'' aliacha kazi ya kisayansi akaendelea kutunga vitabu vyake.

Aliandika [[Kitabu|vitabu vingi]], hasa masimulizi na riwaya juu ya ustaarabu ujao ambako watu huishi pamoja na roboti yaani mashine zenye uwezo wa kufikiri zinazopewa maumbile ya kufanana na binadamu. 

Asimov alitunga pia vitabu vinavyoeleza sayansi kwa watu waskio wataalamu alikuwa mshauri wa kisayansi kwa filamu za [[Star Trek]] zilizotengenezwa kwa runinga.

Vitabu vya Asimov's vilivyokuwa mashuhuri zaidi vilikuwa vitabu vya mfululizo wa Foundation series. Aliandika pia ''Galactic Empire'' na ''Robot'' Series. Kwa jumla alitunga au alihariri zaidi ya vitabu 500 akaandika barua 90,000 letters. Pamoja na bunilizi ya kisayansi aliandika pia kuhusu sayansi yenyewe, historia, Biblia, fasihi na 

Maandishi mengi ya mapema ya Asimov yalikuwa hadithi fupi zilizochapishwa katika majarida na daftari za hadithi za bei rahisi. Miaka baadaye, yalikusanywa na kuchapishwa tena kama makusanyo. Mikusanyiko inayojulikana ni pamoja na  ''[[:en:I,_Robot|I, Robot]]'', ''[[:en:The_Rest_of_the_Robots|The Rest of the Robots]]'', ''[[:en:Earth_is_Room_Enough|Earth is Room Enough]]'' na ''[[:en:The_Early_Asimov|The Early Asimov]]''.

=== Orodha ya Asimov ===

Riwaya za Asimov zimeathiri bunilizi ya kiayansi kwenye runinga na sinema. Hasa '[[:simple:Three_Laws_of_Robotics|Three Laws of Robotics]]'  (kanuni tatu za uroboti) zilichangia kwenye majadiliano ya kimataifa kuhusu teknolojia hiyo.

# Roboti haiwezi kumdhuru mwanadamu au, kwa kutotenda, kumruhusu mwanadamu aje ajeruhi.
# Roboti inapaswa kutii maagizo yoyote ambayo wanadamu wamepewa, isipokuwa pale ambapo maagizo hayo yatapingana na Sheria ya Kwanza.
# Roboti lazima ilinde uwepo wake maadamu ulinzi huo haugongani na Sheria ya Kwanza au ya Pili.

== Imani ==
Ingawa alizaliwa katika familia ya [[Wayahudi|Kiyahudi]], Asimov alijiita kafiri [[Ukanaji Mungu|anayekana Mungu]]:

: "Mimi ni kafiri kabisa. Ilinichukua muda mrefu kusema hiyo. Nimekuwa mtu asiyeamini Mungu kwa miaka mingi, lakini kwa namna fulani ... ilikuwa afadhali kusema ni humanisti au mtu asiyejua kama Mungu yupo au la." <ref>[http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Isaac_Asimov#General_sources Free Inquiry (Spring 1982). Wikiquote]</ref>

== Kifo ==
Alipofanyiwa [[Upasuaji|upasuaji wa]] [[moyo]] mnamo 1983, alipokea [[damu]] iliyoambukizwa [[Virusi vya UKIMWI|VVU]]. Alipata [[Ukimwi|UKIMWI]], akafa kutokana na athari za hali ya kiafya mnamo 1992.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.locusmag.com/2002/Issue04/Letter.html|title=Letter from Janet Asimov|accessdate=2012-12-04|author=|first=|coauthors=|date=4 April 2002|format=|work=Locus Online|publisher=Locus Publications|pages=|quote=}}</ref>
