About This Quote
The book is man's best invention so far. This quote is attributed to Isaac Asimov, one of the greatest science fiction writers of all time. He was speaking about the invention of the book as an amazing development in human history. He was referring to the ability to store information similar to how people store food in their stomachs.
Now, the information no longer has to perish with the death of its owner. It can be stored on a page and preserved for future generations.
