The question came about as a result of a five dollar bet over highballs, and it happened this way..." —Opening line, The Last Question The Last Question is a science fiction short story written by Isaac Asimov in 1956. The story deals with the development of computers (artificial intelligence) called Multivacs and their relationships with humanity through the courses of seven historic settings, beginning in 2061. A personal favourite of the master Sci-Fi writer Isaac Asimov, it is a thought-provoking fiction that even most non Sci-Fi buffs can enjoy.

Fun seeing an adaptation of this, as Isaac Asimov's works were some of the first things my father gave me in terms of Sci-fi.
Beautiful. I read this story ages ago and it never ceases to be a wonder. Indeed a worthy adaptation.
So god is a giant computer. I love this story.
Thank you so much!!!!! supreme cream scans >_<
i'm speechless...this is shuch a good manhwa *-*
and to finish........THERE SHALL BE LIGHT!!!!!!
I am so glad to see a younger generation recognize Isaac Asimov's talent. Perhaps they will also start looking at the work of Arthur C. Clarke and Robert A. Heinlein, the other two members of Science Fiction's "Big Three."
This has been my favorite short story by Asimov for a while and I am glad to see a faithful adaptation.
Truly , a worthy adaptation. Oh, and the Background music is really good
Cool, I used to read a lot of Asimov.
Ok so the question couldn't be answered until entropy happened. The AC did not have anything to reference entropy against therefore insufficient data.

It's a soundtrack from the movie Island.
Fantastic story. It always makes me excited to read this after long intervals. Happy to see it reborn in a graphic format. Thanks SCS!
