Heinlien, Clarke and certainly, Bradbury were all superior writers to Asimov. Asimov was the superior scientist.

There is nothing in all of SF like the 3 Laws. Nor is there anything like psychohistory.

These were fundamentally new thoughts.

Clarke and even Heinlein were a bit derivative.

Bradbury — probably a tie.

All excellent writers and the greats of the Golden Age (under the tutelage of Campbell).

We are discussing which god is greatest in a world of mortals.

We shall not see their kind again. Ever.
