A good story.
There are a number of themes running through that piece that should keep people mentally occupied.
Thanks,
Col.

awesome story! 8-)
I love these pre-digital era sci-fi stories... I've been having endless fun reading all volumes of the John Carter of Mars novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs :D
Cheers

. Has a very good ending though.

I've always loved Asimov's short fiction. His books (the Foundation series in particular) had great ideas, but his writing style has always been a bit plodding. Not to say that any of it was uninteresting, just slow reading. His short fiction, however, has always captured me. I guess because he dispenses with filling page after page with extra words and simply tells the story itself.
