Isaac Asimov's The Tyrannosaurus Prescription and One Hundred Other Essays was published in 1989...though the essays which comprise it were written and published earlier than that--one in 1978.
"Our Second World" was first published in 1988. And its amazing how naive it seems now. Check this out:
Yeah. That would've been cool. And by the way, where's my flying car?
The text of this book runs from 11 to 320, so 309 pages. (There are some blank pages in there, but I don't have it in me to count them, so let's just say it's around 309 pages long.) Which makes the average length of each essay just a smidge over 3 pages. Bite-sized!
And while some of the essays are, indeed, a bit dated, they're still fun to read. It's Isaac Asimov, after all.
And special bonus prize: you can read it for free at Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/tyrannosauruspre0000asim/mode/1up.
No, no, no...thank YOU.
