2001: A Space Odyssey for me was, and still is, his greatest achievement. But then again, I haven't really studied the man.
I loved Ray Bradbury, "A sound of thunder", "The Illustrated Man", "The Martian Chronicles". For me the top two were Bradbury and Asimov. Asimov's Dr Urth stories were what got me really hooked on science, Like "the Key". Also stories like "I'm in Marsport without Hilda", Marooned off Vesta", A Loint of Paw".Well, I rate Ray Bradbury higher than Heinlein, so for me, only two of the big three have passed away yet.
