The Last Question - Isaac Asimov http://filer.case.edu/dts8/thelastq.htm If you don't want to read it then search on youtube and you can get it read to you, though I'm a big adocate for reading it yourself. Do not skip to the end! You'll ruin it for yourself. SPOILER ALERT !! !! !! !! No religious undertone was meant (though one can see why one might think there is), Asimov was an atheist.
