Asimov, Heinlein, Clarke
left their mark as the trinity.
Asimov had Foundation and hard science
while Clarke had imagination in defiance
of his physics and maths affinity,
to echo the stereotype. Heinlein wasn’t qualified
like the other two, but wrote some of the best
mind bending work. His reputation solidified
by his work in Astounding
Stories alone. Nothing so confounding,
penetrating, Icarian, as from their pen
was ever written again.
