    Fiction, or Non-fiction?

    I'm sure you folks know a certain author of science fiction, namely Isac Asimov (sp?).
    I have a thought. I wonder, did he actually time travel? It is quite a normal question I would think, considering the books he has written, and all of the material inside. I was reading one of the later books, The Moon's Harsh Mistress. And the way the moon had been colonized, with convicts, just like our Australia started out. It seemed to me that it was so well written, from the every day mundane things we take for granted, that they had to deal with up there. But they managed, survival of the fittest and all. But how they did it, was nothing short of amzing. It is a viable plan, it really is. So much so that it makes me think that he (I.A.) was actually there. He wrote such a detailed book on the functionalism of the every day operations that would have been needed for day to day existance. And it worked so well that the moon became the world's provider of wheat. Until of course the 3rd and 4th generations of those said convicts revolted because they were under certain convicts laws, when of course they were not at all convicts.
    But as I said before, was he really there? Pick up the book some time my fellow Toequesters, and tell me your opinion! With kind regards, Tarina
