listen: i'm a classical history nerd with degrees in computer science, law and mathematics. i started off in physics - a hard science - and have an undeclared minor in the topic. i'm also an anarchist, with a sympathy for marx (and no sympathy for lenin). now, the logic here is maybe a little circular, granted, in that i'm admittedly a creation of asimov, and that i have all these interests in no small part because i read asimov very young, but i'm nonetheless the perfect person to rip this apart.
i'm going to do this in point form first and then try to make sense of it after.
as mentioned, this text is actually relatively developed. asimov isn't known for writing what might be called high literature, but his late consolidating texts come closest to the mark.
