I couldn't resist and asked ChatGPT what your story is. The Monkey's Finger by Asimov?
- djmips 1y agoThat's got to be it and it's poetic that ChatGPT found it.
- e40 1y agoI just had it find a book that I read as a boy, with one prompt, that I looked for for years. I googled for hours, of course google is bad at this type of thing. But, amazing it found it so quickly.
- dhosek 1y agoThere was a point before Google got “smart” searches when it could find stuff like this more easily. I used it to turn up things I’d read thanks to remembering just a line or two from the book.

- e40 1y agoIn this case, I remembered high-level plot details and nothing else. I read it when I was 7 or 8. I really did, over many years use web searches to find this book. Probably from 2007 to 2013. I think that was the time when Google was good. FWIW, this is the prompt: What is the name of the book about a young American Indian boy whose grows up in the the of Indian culture being wiped our. His parents are killed and he becomes a bull rider, has many injuries, goes back home to find peace in nature where he grew up?
- dhosek 1y agoThat’s the piece. I knew it was either a story by Asimov or something in a collection he had edited. (Of course, I also needed to confirm that this was really the name of the story and not something that ChatGPT fabricated.)
