* Arthur Clarke's "Whacky" (short story)

The single worst story by Clarke I've read yet - over the 100 odd by now. Could not make out the head or tail of it. Some conversation among characters that obviously are not real - may be they are in heaven, may be in a computer simulation, ... something.

First published: The Fantast, July 1942.
