Isaac Asimov, Author, Postcard to W. Jeffrey Hurst regarding Robotics
Postcard sent by science fiction author Isaac Asimov to W. Jeffrey Hurst on 10 April 1989. Hurst had previously written to Asimov to request that he write an article for the journal "Laboratory Robotics and Automation". Asimov's postcard regretfully declines Hurst's offer, as Asimov explains that his experience with robotics, a term Asimov invented, came from his fiction writing rather than practical experience with the subject. Postcard is typewritten with Asimov's signature in blue ink.
