Here’s a pretty cool interview he did a few months ago for his 90th birthday, reflecting about his life, accomplishments, just being old in general, and future hopes for humanity. One of his last questions peaked my interest the most – when asked how he wants to be remembered after all that he’s done, he said that he wanted to be remembered as a writer – “…one who entertained readers and hopefully stretched their imaginations as well.”

I can’t speak for anyone else, but I think I can do that.
