Isaac Asimov

An awesome writer. Isaac Asimov, born January 2, 1920 died April 6, 1992. He was a Russian-born American Jewish author and professor of biochemistry. He was highly successful and exceptionally prolific writer best known for his works of science fiction.

Sci-Fi thanks Isaac Asimov.

His positronic robot stories reatly influenced other writers and thinkers in their treatment of the "sci-fi" genre. One such short story, "The Bicentennial Man", was made into a film starring Robin Williams and the collection of short stories, "I, Robot" was made into a film startting Will Smith.

If anyone as actually read I, Robot they would know the movie has nothing to do with the book.

Asimov Cascade

A type of technological singularity where a person creates a replica of themself smart enough to become self-aware and able to create a replica of itself, but is unaware that they themselves are replicas. Those replicas themselves become self-aware and able to create a replica of itself, but is unaware that they themselves are replicas. Continue this trend to the point where who was the original creator becomes lost in the sheer number of replicas

Term coined in the Rick and Morty episode "Mortyplicity".

"When squids started killing decoys, decoys started checkin their decoys and learning that they're making decoys. That's making them seek out and run into other decoys. Making them realize they're decoys, making them start to kill other decoys."
-- Rick Sanchez describing the Asimov Cascade.
