It seems that this short story was originally published in an old science fiction magazine (that my local library doesn't stock). Was wondering if it also made its way into a compilation of some sort. Google hasn't turned up anything for me yet.
- patdman 10y agoContained in "Buy Jupiter and Other Stories" Available on amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Jupiter-Other-Stories-Isaac-Asimov/dp/0449230627 https://www.amazon.com/Jupiter-Other-Stories-Isaac-Asimov/dp...)
- cmdr2 10y agoIs this the story? http://www.young-adult-books.com/read/buy-jupiter-and-other-stories-926/22882 http://www.young-adult-books.com/read/buy-jupiter-and-other-... (link says "buy", but looks like the entire story is on that page)
- logicallee 10y agoCan you imagine if someone told Asimov that his story "Buy Jupiter" would be mistaken for a "link" to buy a copy of his work, by someone reading on an international network of computers that have access to all of the information in the world - and were so overrun with advertising that his own title was mistaken for one. Given "Buy Jupiter's" plot summary - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buy_Jupiter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buy_Jupiter [1] - this is extremely apropos!! Some things never change :) [1] WHICH I'M LINKING ON A FREAKING ENCYCLOPEDIA GALACTICA THAT CONTAINS IN EVERY LANGUAGE ALL OF THE GENERAL KNOWLEDGE OF THE WORLD (WIKIPEDIA).
- option_greek 10y agoThanks for the link! Apparently 'Buy Jupiter' it self is a story (so all the stories on the page are free)
