"Implement Fiat Lux" is a hell of a title for a sci-fi story, if nothing else.

  Happily when Asimov wrote the same story, he didn't give away the punchline in the title.

    Sure, if you put it in the title you need a different punchline. :D

      It would be a different tale altogether - probably engineers discussing how ludicrous the idea is, until it's feasible, and then debating the consequences before pressing the red button.

        Yeah. I think I was really imagining it as a chapter title in something like Ra [0]. Sam is good at bombastic chapter titles. [0] https://qntm.org/ra https://qntm.org/ra
