I was looking for an anthology that contained Asimov’s Nothing for Nothing and this was the only one I was able to find here, so my review is for this short story only.

I found it to be very memorable, loved the open ending and the character of the researcher.

I don’t always like Asimov’s pacing though, and this story wasn’t an exception.
