Great short story

The Last Question is a great science fiction short story by Isaac Asimov. In his own words:

"This is by far my favorite story of all those I have written.
After all, I undertook to tell several trillion years of human history in the space of a short story and I leave it to you as to how well I succeeded. I also undertook another task, but I won't tell you what that was lest l spoil the story for you.
It is a curious fact that innumerable readers have asked me if I wrote this story. They seem never to remember the title of the story or (for sure) the author, except for the vague thought it might be me. But, of course, they never forget the story itself especially the ending. The idea seems to drown out everything -- and I'm satisfied that it should.

Potential

This autistic man shows the human brain's potential for memorization. I think it would take a couple millenia of brain exercises just to help me remember where I put my keys... wait, what was I saying?
