Neanderthals were not simply exterminated by Homo sapiens. We competed, mixed, and eventually absorbed part of them into ourselves. Could artificial intelligence produce a similar transition—one in which humans survive, but no longer remain the dominant autonomous intelligence?
Isaac Asimov’s The Last Question is one of the most profound science fiction stories ever written. It explores the fate of humanity, artificial intelligence, entropy, and the ultimate destiny of the universe. Through a question repeated across cosmic time — whether entropy can ever be reversed — Asimov transforms physics into a philosophical meditation on intelligence, mortality, creation, and hope.
