Best science fiction novella/short story ever?

classic science fiction
WhiteWolf359 asked:


I have to vote for my all time fave-”A Boy and His Dog” by Harlan Ellison. Still a classic! I also liked the original, serialized version of what became the novel “The Dying of the Light” by George R.R. Martin. The serial version was called “After the Festival,” I think. What’s your favorite?

    I have to agree that “A Boy and His Dog” is definitely a classic. But my all time favorite would have to be “Shell Game” by Philip K. ****. It’s a great exploration of the question, “What is reality?” And by the end of the story, we don’t really have a clear answer. Absolute genius.
