Isaac Asimov (Russian: Исаак Озимов) (c. January 2, 1920 - April 6, 1992) was a prolific science fiction author and polemic. As such, some of his writings discuss J.R.R. Tolkien's thematics, especially the One Ring.

In a letter written to Charlotte and Denis Plimmer in 1967, Tolkien said that he seldom found any modern books that could hold his attention. One exception though was the science fiction of Isaac Asimov, which Tolkien said he enjoyed.[1]
