The Last Question by Jim Gallant, Bob E. Flick, Isaac Asimov
3.0
Sweeping and vast. (And I mean that in a number of ways.)
It's a quick but thoughtful read. Not much by way of characterization or empathy-building among any of the passing characters. It's purpose is more so to convey a broad scope idea revolving around both entropy and nihilism. (The Universe will eventually run down and go cold and nothing--and no one--will have mattered.)
The premise ultimately takes the chicken-or-the-egg question to a whole other level, and ends with a... bang. >.>
