Which one is the one about the... you mean the one where they take the special footage of the atomic bomb mushroom cloud?

I never really liked that one; I felt it was a case of Asimov beating the reader about the head with the moral.


My favourite Asimov short-short is the one where God reveals unto Moses the whole story of creation, all however-many millions of years, but Moses is forced to condense it a bit because he can't afford that much paper...
