tl;dr: can you reverse entropy? dunnolol. computer is god now.

but it's worth reading.

>> No.4650556

This is something everyone should read.

And if I can recommend another short story, check out I Have No Mouth But I Must Scream.

Boy, this short story is the best short of Asimov, you're telling me that you can't read 8 fucking pages? just read it, the ending it's just phenomenal.

>> No.4652482

>can't read a short story

How is school, OP? I imagine it must be very tough for someone of your patience.

God damn it Asimov is amazing

If you haven't read the Foundation series, read it.

Really? It's good? Because I like Asimov, but I find him to be very dry. For short stories it's 100% OK, for a novel, it's pushing it, but for a seven (?) novel series? Idk, seems a bit much.

>> No.4652575

There is insufficient data for a meaningful answer.

>> No.4652582

Dudes ask the computer how to stop entropy he tells them he don't know but he'll think about it

story consists of different areas millions an billions of years apart in humanities future where the super vac is asked the question over and over but he still doesn't know the answer.

then time immeasurable after the last starts die he finds the answer to reverse entropy and let there be light and he makes the universe

It's pretty good. It's a very intelligent novel, and to be honest the first book at least is basically a set of short stories

The first book I ever read without pictures in it was "I Robot"
I had a copy of "Foundation and Empire" in my pocket when I heard that he had died.
His autobiography "In Memory yet Green." is surprisingly entertaining.

I regret that I never wrote a fan letter to him.
