The greatest Science Fiction story ever told.

[ArkiStan]

For people who are new to Isaac Asimov, it's a quick read, only seven pages. But it's widely considered to be the greatest science fiction story ever written. You do not even have to be a fan of science fiction to enjoy this. I will say no more. Simply experience it.

I thought the greatest science fiction was Scientology? :) I'm kidding and sorry to offend all the Scientologist out there.

I guess he was the foremost authority on great science fiction, but that still sounds kind of egotistical...

Well it's a free country. You can believe in that stuff if you want to.

Thanks for posting that . . . it was a really good read . . . even for someone (myself) who has never really cared for science fiction.
