His long absence from the Hugo best-novel roster (he didn't win the award until The Gods Themselves came along in 1973, and he was well into his 50s) becomes more understandable when we remember that many of his 1950s novels were part of an ongoing series – and the surprising fact that, prolific as he may have been, he only wrote four novels between 19 (when he won it again). The author of I, Robot fully deserves his place alongside Arthur C Clarke and Robert Heinlein in the pantheon of the mid-20th century SF Golden Age. His ability to churn out such an astonishing amount of material could in part be ascribed to his claim never to read drafts of his work before filing them – but much as I'd like to provoke a firestorm by trying to claim that Asimov was a hack, I can't. As well as writing more than 500 books, he somehow managed to work full time as a biochemist at Boston University, produce numerous film scripts and treatments and, incidentally, coin the word "robotics" (though the Capek brothers might feel their thunder slightly embezzled by this).

He demonstrates in numerous case studies just how much our medical research establishment has been corrupted by “Big Pharma.” This is a code red kind of moment, he argues. John Abramson, a lecturer in health-care policy at Harvard Medical School, has taken these critiques quite a bit further in his latest book, Sickening: How Big Pharma Ruined American Healthcare and How to Repair It. That same year, Marcia Angell, former editor of The New England Journal of Medicine, another prestigious academic medicine publication, also wrote that medical journals were “primarily a marketing machine” and “Big Pharma” was co-opting “every institution that might stand in its way.” “Journals have devolved into information laundering operations for the pharmaceutical industry,” wrote Richard Horton, editor of The Lancet, another highly prestigious medical journal, in March 2004.
