Science Fiction About Entropy
"The Last Question"(1956) is a science fiction short story by Issac Asimov about the ability of humankind to cope with and potentially reverse the process of entropy.
In the story, people asks a super-computer named AC(Multivacs) again and again:" How can the net amount of entropy of the universe be massively decreased?" Each time AC's answer is:"INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR A MEANINGFUL ANSWER." In the last scene, humanity disappears; space and time cease to exist; the universe is already dead. However, AC somehow continues to ponder the question. Eventually, AC discovers the answer and decides to show it by demonstrating the reversal of entropy: "And AC said:"LET THERE BE LIGHT!" And there was light."

Famous quotes containing the words science fiction, science, fiction and/or entropy:
“Science fiction writers foresee the inevitable, and although problems and catastrophes may be inevitable, solutions are not.”
—Isaac Asimov (1920–1992)
“In the new science of the twenty-first century, not physical force but spiritual force will lead the way. Mental and spiritual gifts will be more in demand than gifts of a physical nature. Extrasensory perception will take precedence over sensory perception. And in this sphere woman will again predominate.”
—Elizabeth Gould Davis (b. 1910)
“Americans will listen, but they do not care to read. War and Peace must wait for the leisure of retirement, which never really comes: meanwhile it helps to furnish the living room. Blockbusting fiction is bought as furniture. Unread, it maintains its value. Read, it looks like money wasted. Cunningly, Americans know that books contain a person, and they want the person, not the book.”
—Anthony Burgess (b. 1917)
“Just as the constant increase of entropy is the basic law of the universe, so it is the basic law of life to be ever more highly structured and to struggle against entropy.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)
