The Last Question: Isaac Asimov, Entropy, Artificial Intelligence, and the Fate of the Universe
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.
