This is a fantastic book of short stories by an icon in Science Fiction. Asimov poses questions like "can the universe be rebuilt once everything ceases to be?" Everyone has been there, a really great conversation that challenges the mind but ends on a debate about an unanswerable question. What if we had access to a machine or computer with so much knowledge that these questions would be answered for us. Would they still be unanswerable? Or would it just need more information? 'The Last Question' and other stories use religious undertones and apply them to the highest object of worship currently, technology. Some apocalyptic insights to possible futures; Some heart breaking tales of discrimination and fear; Some awe inspiring adventures; But mostly all just damn good Science Fiction.
