Isaac Asimov wrote a ton of both fiction and non-fiction and was very good at explaining things. He's generally considered impossible to imitate, though, because his writing takes pretty much everything that's considered part of a writer's "style" and entirely leaves them out.
As a sample of his writing, I present to you the greatest short science fiction story ever written.
Picked that just to emphasise my belief that there's no such thing, did you? :P
It's a good story, certainly, and a lot of people seem to think it's one of the greatest, but.. to me, it grates. Too.. religious, whether or not that was the intention.
Well, it was Asimov's favorite. ;)
