    FYI: this is not Asimov's Science Fiction, the pulp sci fi magazine, but something else

    It feels like a quick intro on what Asimov Press was in the first place would've been a good idea.

      It's there, just a few paragraphs in and also on https://www.asimov.press/about, it's not that hard to find if you are really curious.

        Yeah.

        I get the impression that if you're uninterested in either reading enough of the press release to get to the parts where they mention what they did, or navigating to the top-level index for the blog, where what they write about is made very plain, then you're not the type of person who would give any shits about what they write about.

    I just started reading Asimov press. It has a weird name, I thought they were a sci-fi publishing company at first.

    It had a unique blend of popular science writing that was sorely missing from the internet. Alas I hardly knew thee.

      Isaac Asimov vote a huge amount of popular science book as well. They just have a shorter shelf life.

        I enjoyed his “science for the layman” books, a lot more than his sci-fi stuff.

        He was really good at explaining very complex stuff, in a simple, approachable manner.

    Truly sad to see this go so soon.
