That’s awesome. The Last Question is one of my favorite short stories.
Man, I totally don’t deserve my sci-fi geek title 🙂 I never heard of that story, but am very glad you linked it.
I always love Asimov though. The one thing I do find poignant though is the 50s-era thinking of a big centralized computer mainframe in the 21st century, and yet he still gets the whole benefit of distributed AI. Just a question of timing then 😉
Oh jeeze! You toss that at me when I’m still wondering …..
are there an infinite number of shards within shards?
Not fair, Raph, not fair!
That was a good story. Thanks for posting it.
I think I read that story as a kid. Its very nostalgic to read it again now. Thanks Raph.
