January 2, marks science fiction Day. It has been celebrated since 2012 and is still considered unofficial. The date was chosen not by chance: it is the birthday of one of the outstanding science fiction writers of the twentieth century, Isaac Asimov.

"It is in vain to think that it is necessary only to the poet. This is a stupid superstition! Even in mathematics it is necessary, even the discovery of differential and integral calculus would be impossible without imagination.

***************************
Night, silence, - I & nbsp; on the roof of the barn,
The Moon shines like a chandelier in the sky.
With a book in his hands, dreaming of the beautiful,*
The young man was then not up to sleep.
Somewhere out there, in Space, there is Aelita,
Waiting and hoping to meet me.
This was the beginning of that feeling of piit,
What I have saved up to this day.
Science fiction books; - a great school,
If scientifically, - not a fairy tale; - a Dream!
Thoughts like horses, fantasy, - spur,**
And the world and destiny change.
The joy of discovery has been with me all my life.
Wells, Belyaev, Jules Verne and Tolstoy,
Isaac Asimov and the Strugatsky brothers
Kir Bulychev admired simplicity.
I got fed up, I grew up on it,
Life was decorated with a beautiful dream.
Let me not become a famous poet,
But, as can and exasperated fate.
Cycles of poems and poems about it,
I have my own virtual world.
The master Teacher Ivan Efremov me
The mind in unity is always with Beauty.
All our thoughts about the life to come
Through Science, we can fully imagine.
Through Good, it will become blooming.
Star wars, the death of the Earth...
We can imagine many dangers***
(I described them in my "horror Stories" )
It is possible to correct unity of the people.
As it will be, - Efremov said.
Science fiction day
To her, among the books, we will give the pedestal!****
As beacons, - illuminate the path of the classics
And I told her about it as best I could.
I was lucky, " I met Aelita.
With Anna Nelidova was my novel*****
We're not going to get into the science fiction elite,
But I know my way to scientific dreams!

*** Science fiction, according to Asimov, is designed to systematically explore possible ways of social development, to warn about dangerous trends in a timely manner, and most importantly-to make rational reflection on the fate of mankind the property of the widest possible masses.
**** H. G. wells in his autobiography, summing up his work, called fiction a kind of speculative sociology: "Sociology can not be just art or science in the narrow sense of the word, it is a collection of knowledge presented in a fictional form with the presence of a personal element, in other words, literature in the most sublime sense of this concept»
