I’m a longtime Douglas Adams stan, but lately I’m vibing more with Lovecraft 🤔
Doyle is interesting for very effective atmospherics
Asimov is the worst actual writer of the lot, but the most courageous world builder. Literally builds it out instead of gesturing at it
My impression of Asimov's actual prose was that I never noticed it. I think that was explicit intention; he wanted to be clear and transparent so that the story itself would be the experience.
In his nonfiction science books, Asimov's clear style was awesomely effective.
