Stuck in a rut? Maybe a 50-year-old essay by science fiction writer Isaac Asimov can help. This week, a never-before-published essay by the legendary writer was published, where he talks about “not only the creative process and the nature of creative people but also the kind of environment that promotes creativity,” Arthur Obermayer, his friend, wrote. Obermayer, a scientist, found the gem among his files recently, and explained it was originally part of a brainstorming process for a possible ballistic missile defense system. He said the essay’s contents “are as broadly relevant today as when he wrote it” in 1959.
