I have no problem with Asimov's ideas, it's his execution of the stories that I'm more critical of as I've aged. I find his dialog to be wooden and unnatural. When I was young, I didn't care about stuff like that, and there were plenty of golden age writers who I loved to read. As I've gotten older, literary problems have become annoying for me, and I can't enjoy the books as I used to. Ideas are no longer enough for me. I'm speaking as someone who adored Asimov and bought every book of his I could find. For me, it's his non-fiction books that I enjoy the most now.
