In an editorial in his magazine, written back in 1982 or so, Isaac Asimov noted that a family named Calvin living in Australia had named their new daughter "Susan" because his fictional character was born that year. Does anybody know what happened to her?

Not sure on the question above, but I seem to recall one of the stories mentioning that she was born in 1979. this sticking in my memory as it would make her the same age as me. Can somebody confirm this, or is my memory playing tricks on me? If so this could be added to the article.Number36 (talk) 06:01, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just re-read "I, Robot" last night and it clearly states her birth is in 1982 at the beginning. TrashHeap (talk) 14:16, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A bit late (on my part I mean), but thanks, I must've confused it with thinking that it would make her the same age as my wife rather than myself.Number36 (talk) 03:40, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Anyone know what happened to the authorized "Robots and Chaos" sequel? I can't find no reference to it since its announcement in 2009. TrashHeap (talk) 14:18, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Needs a better summary of basic character traits. Says "Asimov's own stories leave her misanthropy largely unexplained" but doesn't actually mention her misanthropy before that. Only gives her educational history, a few very specific, random, hand-picked details about her career, and a bunch of physical description. No explanation of the role she generally plays in the stories or anything. Very detailed about less important things, almost nothing about anything else. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.52.82.139 (talk) 09:06, 17 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
