Its amazing that even after half a century has passed, and humanity has advanced quite a bit, Asimov&#8217;s work, even in terms of human relationships, raises questions we haven&#8217;t even begun exploring. He has a great sense of humour, which raises its head at the most improbable moments, thereby making it all the more fun.<br \/>\nThe collection has quite a few stories about Multivac, the super computer that guides humanity and its actions. &#8216;The Last Question&#8217; is an amazing piece of work that deserves special mention. In addition to being a fantastic science fiction tale, it also offers a wonderful take on the origin of the universe.<br \/>\nThe other story that&#8217;s interesting happens to be Franchise, whose storyline is that by studying patterns of human behaviour over a long timeframe, Multivac is able to use one person as a representative sample and elect the US president basis his choice of candidates. The story is set in 2008. I guess humanity hasn&#8217;t progressed as fast as Asimov imagined. More change we need. \ud83d\ude42<br \/>\nNow for Volume 2.<br \/>\n<iframe data-src=\"http:\/\/www.flipkart.com\/affiliateiframe.php?bc=FFFFFF&#038;tc=000000&#038;lc=0000FF&#038;buy=yes&#038;isbn=0006476473&#038;affid=INmanublo&#038;type=3&#038;border=yes\"   style=\"width:120px;height:260px;\" scrolling=\"no\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Isaac Asimov Forget science fiction, if you are the kind who is affected by story telling and the imagination involved therein, this is a must-read.
