John Scalzi
An artificial intelligence on a star-spanning mission explores the farthest horizons of human potential—and its own purpose—in a mind-bending short story by New York Times bestselling author John Scalzi.
Equipped with the entirety of human knowledge, a sentient ship is launched on a last-ditch journey to find a new home for civilization. Trillions of miles. Tens of thousands of years. In the space between, the AI has plenty of time to think about life, the vastness of the universe, everything it was meant to do, and—with a perspective created but not limited by humans—what it should do.
John Scalzi’s Slow Time Between the Stars is part of The Far Reaches, a collection of science-fiction stories that stretch the imagination and open the heart. They can be read or listened to in one sitting.

This story was already included in the collection "The Far Reaches" which had no other stories I really liked.
I really liked this story. I think it will become a classic short.
I could argue this is the best thing Scalzi has ever written.
Some may find the ending a downer, but I found it a marvelous ending to a great story.
When I got to the end, I verbally exclaimed in surprise and pleasure.
The narration is odd and unexpected and I found the tone fantastic for the story.
It was rational, and superior, and loving all at once.
I have already listened to this three times, and will likely come back to this again.

Meh.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
But this time it was very different.
The story touched me in a way as reading that my first Asimov stories did.
This story is entertaining the very best concept of AI and the future of humanity - between the stars.
Great thoughts.
