All the Troubles of the World

The short story "All the Troubles of the World" by Issac Asimov is about a giant computer called Multivac ruled the Earth as a dictator. It could record data for every person on the world and foresee people’s possible actions. But the computer was too well informed that it has invaded privacy of the people, it was like Multivac was taking care of all the troubles of the world. In the end Othman asked Multivac:"Multivac, what do you want yourself more than anything else?" Multivac answered: "I want to die."

  1. Good responses to the short stories in your blog posts. I particularly thought your poem was effective. It was well expressed and reflected the theme well. Continue to push yourself to write more content online and express your ideas clearly.
