Whoda thunk it?
I read a Robert Sawyer story that I like! It was a short story in an anthology called The Savage Humanists. The story, “Flashes”, is about what might happen if aliens started broadcasting the Encyclopedia Galatica to Earth, revealing answers to lots of things we asked, and correcting lots of facts and theories we thought we knew. Oh, and random entries about symphonic music and how to build antimatter bombs…
Really good writing and a brilliant concept. Who knew.
