Comments on: “The Last Question,” by Isaac Asimov http://www.adammessinger.com/2006/02/09/the-last-question Wed, 23 Jul 2008 23:52:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.2 by: Paul http://www.adammessinger.com/2006/02/09/the-last-question#comment-95269 Sat, 27 Oct 2007 01:04:59 +0000 http://www.adammessinger.com/2006/02/09/the-last-question#comment-95269 Thanks for making this story available. I was trying to remember the wording just before the famous punch line. Sadly, my memory is fast failing me. So I went in search of one of my copies of "Nine Tomorrows." I could not find one. (This is what happens when you share a small house with over 6,000 books.) The good doctor may have considered this the best short story he ever wrote, but he was being too modest. (Now that's hard to believe!) It was, and still is, the greatest science fiction short story ever written. Thanks for making this story available.
