Science fiction

Youth by Isaac Asimov is a clever and heartwarming science fiction short story that captures the boundless imagination of childhood against the backdrop of an alien encounter. Written in the early 1950s, this tale follows two adventurous boys whose innocent curiosity leads to an extraordinary discovery—one that holds deeper meaning than they can grasp. As their fantastical plans unfold, a parallel story of diplomacy and exploration plays out among the adults, offering a subtle but powerful commentary on generational perspectives. Asimov blends wonder, humor, and a touch of mystery in this timeless story of friendship, understanding, and the surprising wisdom of youth.
