Oh goodness, this hilarious.
Someone posting a link to a short story by one of the greatest SF writers all of time, whose writings spawned entire threads of reflexion and discussion in many disciplines; and a HN comment being a dismissive tl;dr.
- andrewljohnson 14y agoI didn't find the comment to be dismissive actually. What's wrong with writing a story that explores the boundaries of science and god? That must have been a pretty natural thing for someone living in Asimov's era to do.
- davidw 14y agoDe gustibus non est disputandum, as they say. I don't care for this story either, it's less of an actual story, and more of a "what if" that feels somehow a bit corny to me.
- DaNmarner 14y agoI actually consider pointing out the scientific elements of a SF piece is the best kind of compliment.
