1920-1992; american; born in Russia a.k.a Paul French. He began his work as a fan, publishing before the world war started. He helped define US-scifi with his Robot and Foundation series. He had published about 500 books up to the time of his death in 1992. Asimov was never polite (in contrast do Heinlein) but he could explain things very well, making him a perfect embassador for popular sciences. Most of his novels live from the long dialogs between the characters. One of his best known stories, Nightfall, was published 1941. His rules of robotics also were created quite soon (1940). The Foundation series started with a short versions of Foundation, published as The 1,000-Year Plan in 1955, and Foundation and Empire, published as The Man Who Upset the Universe in the same year. Most stories were published by Campbell in Astounding Science finction. Campbell was a very important mentor for Asimov. Both men say the other one invented the three rules of robotics.

1920-; american a.k.a. Edward Banks, William Elliott, D. R. Banat, Leonard Douglas, Leonard Spaulding, Brett Sterling. Bradbury's stories always were "strange" scifi, nothing for people expecting a story about a possibly real future, or how technical difficulties could be mastered. Bradbury never was interested in writing that kind of scifi. He doesn't really care about material things or science, space-exploration, the galaxy and alike. He deals a lot with space (i.e. location) and the ego in a philosophical way. Bradbury's old, nostalgic, fantastic, romantic Mars already was outdated at the time he wrote his marsstories, but that never affected the stories themselves. The best known novel probably is Fahrenheit 451 that was also turned into a movie. More about Raymond Douglas Bradbury

1950-; american The spaceopera era is said to have ended in the 1960s. Brin is an excemption, writing his Uplift-series which contains Startide Rising, The Practice Effect and The Uplift War. He writes hard scifi but is very critical concerning the effect of modern science and technology. His novel Earth tells the story of a planet that could be destroyed by a careless industrialist. His novel The Postman war turned into a (quite bad) movie.

1949-; american Scifi and comedy don't mix very well. One exception are stories from Bujold. She doesn't write funny things, her stories rather make the amused reader smile silently. Many of her stories deal with the handicaped diplomat-soldier named Miles Vorkosigan and his adventures in a galaxy populated by humans. The Vor Game won the Hugo award in 1991.
