A review by thurminator
The Last Question by Jim Gallant, Bob E. Flick, Isaac Asimov

5.0

A thought-provoking and intriguing short story that illustrates not only the potential and limitations of the universe and humankind but also the futility of existential dread. No need to have read any of Asimov's other works - in fact, having read so many of his novels I was a bit surprised to see something of his that comes across as poetic and theological. Well worth a quick read and reflection.

See also the companion story, "The Last Answer" (thanks @JP).
