Science Fiction: A computer ends up being Zero Point, God

[Colleen]

It may have been Arthur C Clark or Asminov, I think... Only skimmed the book but now I want to read it. It must of not been too popular because I cant find it.

The Last Question by Isaac Asimov?

[Colleen]

Thanks for your reply, but it was a fiction book.

[Daisy]

Colleen, Ashley's suggestion is fiction.

What do you mean by "Zero Point, God"?

All the Troubles of the World

Multivac, the gigantic computer that controls the entire world and can even predict the probabilities of potential crimes before they happen, suddenly announces that someone is plotting to destroy Multivac.

I’ll link the wikipedia for The Last Question, spoilers obviously for the entire short story, especially the ending line which is why I thought it fit.

Thank you, but I cannot find this story. It may be in a collection of short stores, so I will keep looking. Thanks again.

This might be it! But book is not available anywhere that I can find. It may be combined in his short stories. I will have to research more, but thank you very much!
