" The Last Question" is a science fiction short story by American writer Isaac Asimov. All man’s minds merge into one and then eventually disappear.Not to be confused with The Last Answer.The Cosmic AC said, “NO PROBLEM IS INSOLUBLE IN ALL CONCEIVABLE CIRCUMSTANCES.” Wonderful, isn’t it? Or foolishly unrealistic? 공자님 말씀?.Man’s thoughts have become one in this section.Why does Zee Prime ask the question of reversing entropy to the computer?.Man built the original Multivac but how do the latest computers evolve or get better?.Does this mean our origins are important? Is it important to you where you come from?

Everybody calls their galaxy ‘The Galaxy’ but man must have originated from somewhere.“Minds not bodies” how are humans beginning to change?.Why do MQ-17J and VJ-23X ask the computer about entropy?.How has the computer changed since the beginning of the story?.This has been something for which mankind has constantly searched: is it a possibility? Old age and death no longer worry humans. In the third section, is it said that the problem of immortality has been solved.How have the names changed by the start of the third part?.How do you feel about his lying to the children? His first example of ‘entropy’ makes them scream and cry so is he right to not tell them the truth?.Why does Jerrord ask the same question as Adell and Lupov to the Microvac?.Do you see this a problem? If so, how, at all can it be controlled? Is China’s ‘one-baby policy’ acceptable? Capital punishment for bad people? Controlled sterilization for certain people? Jerrord talks about the problem of growing populations and the over-crowding of the world.What do you notice about the names in the second part of the story?.What is the question that the two men ask the Multivac?.Is he correct to say this to Adell or is he being an annoying contrarian? Lupov says that ‘billions and billions of years’ is not forever.How do you feel about the environment: do you feel the world is going the right way and we will start protecting nature better? Or is the world slowly being destroyed by us? The story says that in 2061 people will no longer use fossil fuels (coal, gas, oil).What is Adell and Lupov’s relationship to the Multivac?.Remember this and see if affects your opinion of the ending or your understanding of the story as a whole. We learn at the beginning that ‘the last question’ arose ‘in jest’ and as a bet while drinking.
