All the Troubles of the World
by Isaac Asimov
· published 1958 · read 2018-08-27
★★★★☆
This short story by Isaac Asimov, available online, was heart-breaking and well-paced. I was sick of reading of dystopic futures with evil, flawed humans and evil, flawed AI everywhere, and this story is a nice break from all that.
The Feeling of Power
by Isaac Asimov
· published 1958 · read 2018-07-15
★★★☆☆
Let's put it like this: My grandfather is a maths teacher, and he'd love this. The Feeling of Power by Isaac Asimov explores a world in which computers are everywhere, and humans have forgotten how to do anything by themselves, especially calculations. Not a novel concept, you may say, but the publication date is 1958. I'm completely undecided on if this has aged astonishingly well or has been made unreadable, but I'd say take the five minutes and read it regardless.
