The Last Question by Isaac Asimov
5.0
5 stars
A short story about entropy and the evolution of man — it’s more captivating than it sounds.
“New stars had been built of the dust between the stars, some by natural processes, some by Man himself, and those were going, too. White dwarfs might yet be crashed together and of the mighty forces so released, new stars built, but only one star for every thousand white dwarfs destroyed, and those would come to an end, too.”
