Wow! Funny to hear Asimov described as modern (unless you mean it in the sense of modern vs. classical vs. post-modern etc.). But -- I love those books and want to reread them someday.. Enjoy!

Yeah, I guess it's a bit weird to call a 70 year old or so modern haha. I was think in constrat with "classical science fiction", as in "classical physics" like Verne's books. That's sort of a "lost" genre I think, unless you consider Steampunk to be sort of a successor.
