The Book that Changed Russel Howcroft: Nine Tomorrows by Isaac Asimov

At the 2016 Gala Night of Storytelling, Russel Howcroft – a well-regarded public face of brand marketing and advertising in Australia, and a regular on ABC1’s The Gruen Transfer – shares the story of the book that changed his life: Nine Tomorrows by Isaac Asimov. ‘The book I’ve chosen is Nine Tomorrows by Isaac Asimov,' says Howcroft. 'As a 16 year-old, I suppose Asimov had a profound effect [on me,] as the overriding theme of the day was the idea that humanity was not on the path to a better future. The MAD nuclear doctrine and the loss of jobs due to the rise of technology were dinner table conversations we had at the Howcroft household. For me, Asimov made it clear that humanity is not so stupid; that despite having the capacity to destroy itself, this will not happen. Sanity will prevail.’
