One of the best-known sci-fi stories of all time. The ending is quite satisfying.

A little regretfully, I have to admit that this is the first work, I have read by Asimov of my own volition( I remember reading The three laws for robots in my school as a prescribed reading). I have to say the story is a little underwhelming and ironically anachronistic to this time, given it deals with the very far future.

The story itself has a single idea expanded up on and recurringly prodded but to __ what I felt __ an unsatisfying conclusion.
