  _The Editors_
  
  
  Isaac Asimov is a biochemist who has taught at the
  
  
  Boston University School of Medicine. Not only is he one
  
  
  of the foremost contemporary science writers, but he
  
  
  exercises an imaginative power that enables him to write
  
  
  vivid science fiction as well. His story, “The Fun They
  
  
  Had,” is included in this collection. Among Dr. Asimov’s
  
  
  factual works published by Collier Books are _The Clock_
  
  
  _We Live On, The Kingdom of the Sun, The World of_
  
  
  _Carbon, The World of Nitrogen_ , and _The Bloodstream:_
  
  
  _River of Life_.
  
  
  Groff Conklin, a pioneer in recognizing and evaluating
  
  
  the merits of science fiction, is also a distinguished science
  
  
  and technical writer. The diversity of his talents has
  
  
  expressed itself in such works as _The Best of Science_
  
  
  _Fiction_ , one of the first science fiction anthologies, and _The_
  
  
  _Weather Conditioned House_ , a standard work for
  
  
  architects.
