Step 1 : Introduction to the question " Which of the following Anglo-American authors is included in the "Big Three" science fiction writers? "
...
Three of the best-selling science fiction novelists of the 20th century, Isaac Asimov, Robert A. Heinlein, and Arthur C. Clarke are commonly referred to as the “Big Three” of science fiction for their influential work in expanding the definition of the genre established by their predecessors Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, and Hugo Gernsback. Moving beyond their forefathers’ approaches to speculative fiction, the “Big Three” established the subgenre of “hard science fiction”, characterized by a concern for scientific accuracy, logic, and adherence to the laws of physics.
A professor of biochemistry at Boston University, Isaac Asimov was a prolific writer. He wrote and edited more than 500 books, his most famous work being the Foundation series.
Aeronautical engineer and retired Naval officer Robert A. Heinlein was one of the first writers of science fiction to emphasize the importance of scientific accuracy in the genre, and was thus a pioneer of the subgenre of hard science fiction. He was one of the first science fiction writers to break into mainstream magazines such as The Saturday Evening Post in the late 1940s and four of his novels won Hugo Awards.
A lifelong proponent of space travel, English writer, futurist, inventor, undersea explorer, and television series host Arthur C. Clarke is best known for co-writing the screenplay for the 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey, one of the most influential films of all time.
