For the sci-fi geeks: Buy Jupiter and Other Stories

Isaac Asimov

This collection of 24 stories has been collated from two decades of the master of science fiction Isaac Asimov’s oeuvre. Asimov gives us plenty of bizarre characters, whose conversations draw us in instantly. A friend claims he built a time machine to travel to the Mesozoic era and now knows what happened to the dinosaurs; Uncle Otto creates a flute that can be played by the power of mind alone, no skill necessary; a pair of explorers find habitable planets far, far away, where plants control everything.
