Här kan man skriva på en petition för att ge Isaac Asimov en minnesplakett i 
Philadelphia, vid det hus han bodde i 1942-45, när han under kriget jobbade som 
kemist för USAs flotta:

"Though he's often thought of as a New Yorker, he spent three very important 
landmark years in Philadelphia. From 1942 to 1945, while living and working 
here during WWII as a chemist at the Philadelphia Navy Yard, Isaac Asimov wrote 
half a dozen of the key stories that comprise his two most influential cultural 
masterpieces: the Foundation series, which introduced the idea of 
“psychohistory,” the mathematical modeling of the future; and the Robot series, 
which introduced the famous Three Laws of Robotics governing how artificial 
intelligences should behave.
  It was at an apartment on the corner of 50th and Spruce streets in West 
Philadelphia where Asimov wrote these historic stories. So with the support of 
your signature, the Philadelphia Weekly is petitioning the Pennsylvania 
Historical Marker Commission to dedicate a marker at that location honoring 
Asimov's profound literary accomplishment."

Ps. Jag har skrivit på. Asimov var en av sf-världens giganter! Man har redan 
över 3000 underskrifter.
