The “Big Three” of science fiction are a trio of hugely popular and influential authors who have shaped the genre in a very profound way--Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, and Robert A. Heinlein.

Isaac Asimov was an author, editor, professor and biochemist who wrote and published over 500 books during his lifetime, many of which fall into the science fiction genre. He is most well-known for his Robot series, and his Three Laws of Robotics.

Arthur C. Clarke was a British science fiction author and futurist who was famous for the idea of communication satellites in geosynchronous orbit — and famously predicted the idea in a 1945 article in Wireless World magazine. He is best-known for his novel “2001: A Space Odyssey,” which was made into a classic film in 1968.

Robert A. Heinlein was an American science fiction author who wrote many influential books over a long career, most famously “Stranger in a Strange Land” and “The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.” He was known for his libertarian leanings and incorporation of those views into science-fiction stories.

Together, the Big Three of science fiction have been instrumental in pushing the boundaries of the genre and inspiring generations of new authors to come. Their work has certainly left an indelible mark on the world of science fiction and will continue to do so for years to come.
