The Last Question
"The Last Question" is a science fiction short story by Isaac Asimov. It first appeared in the November 1956 issue of ''Science Fiction Quarterly'' and was reprinted in the collections ''Nine Tomorrows'' (1959), ''The Best of Isaac Asimov'' (1973), ''Robot Dreams'' (1986), the retrospective ''Opus 100'' (1969), and in ''Isaac Asimov: The Complete Stories, Vol. 1''. It was Asimov's favorite short story of his own authorship, and is one of a loosely connected series of stories concerning a fictional computer called Multivac. This story represents a close encounter among science fiction, theology, and philosophy.
==History==
In conceiving Multivac, Asimov was extrapolating the trend towards centralization that characterized computation technology planning in the 1950s to an ultimate centrally managed global computer. After seeing a planetarium adaptation, Asimov "privately" concluded that this story was his best science fiction yet written; he placed it just higher than "The Ugly Little Boy" (September 1958) and "The Bicentennial Man" (1976). "The Last Question" ranks with "Nightfall" (1941) as one of Asimov's best-known and most acclaimed short stories.
