This gem of a short story shows what the Twilight Zone would have been like if the Good Doctor wrote it. Asimov shows a day in the life of a scientist. Sounds pretty ordinary doesn’t it? The catch is what does a scientist do when he shows up for work and no one remembers his field of expertise. When I said no one, I probably should have said everyone. Every reference to it in the world has been erased. Asimov does a good job of showing the characters reaction. I read this story many years ago and it has stayed with me. Another classic by Asimov. He has always been one of my favorite short story writers and this story reinforces my opinion.
