It's Been a Good Life is a cut-down version of Asimov's three-volume
autobiography with some additions, primarily from letters he wrote his
widow, Janet Jeppson Asimov, plus her epilogue. The one significant
revelation is that Asimov died of AIDS, contracted during bypass surgery.
The information was withheld from the public on his doctors' advice.
