The Nine Billion Names of GodArthur C. Clarke
This tiny gem is a classic, so you may very well have read it. It isn't new, as you can see from the technology, but it's timeless. With updated computer technology, it could have been written just yesterday. Here's the link; enjoy.
The Nine Billion Names of God
Frybabe:
What a fun idea!
Here is one by Harry Harrison that I've always liked. When I searched to find an online copy (besides the Gutenberg site) I found this YouTube "read along" audio presentation. Nicely done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Dp2i0uHZqQ
PatH:
The Clarke really sticks with you. Anyone who doesn't know anything about Clarke, could one guess his religious orientation from the story?
Frybabe, I'm about to check out the Harrison.
JoanK:
Off to read the two stories. Didn't wev read the Clarke one here once?
