The authors are listed as frederik pohl and isaac asimov
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Another reviewer complained that the books style is not asimovs and therefore not as entertaining as isaacs usual writing
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
That is true and it does appear that pohl was probably the primary contributor as far as the written word is concerned
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
It is also true that this was asimovs last nonfiction book and at the time i believe he was quite ill he died in 1992 the year following the books publication
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I seriously doubt that the book would contain the depth of exact detail as to what is going on as humanity continues its march onward toward the extinction of life on our planet if asimov had not had a hand in it
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I suspect that pohl and asimov planned the outline of the book and the listing of the problems involved then pohl produced most of the wording with asimov supplying the scientific data
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
It isnt dull and it never flags in its steady piling up of the facts and details involved
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
If pohl is still alive maybe he could do that but without asimovs help it probably wouldnt be as comprehensive and helpful though any update would be better than nothing
