4. I have read all three stories mentioned so far.

The best of the three is probably The Nine Billion Names of God.

I did get to see, at the Cincinnati Planetarium many, many years ago, a presentation of The Last Question and i think it was read, on tape at least, by Asimov himself but time blurs the memories.

Not sure what Asimov meant but I want to throw Heinlein into the mix the penultimate line from Stranger in a Strange Land

Foster said, "Skip the Formalities, please. I've left you a load of work and you don't have all eternity to fiddle with it. Certainly 'Thou Art God' but who Isn't?"
