The story explores the evolution of humanity and technology over trillions of years, focusing on the recurring question of how to reverse the inevitable entropy of the universe. As civilizations rise and fall, increasingly advanced iterations of a supercomputer are asked whether entropy can be decreased, only to receive the same answer: "There is insufficient data for a meaningful answer." Ultimately, after the universe has ended and only the computer remains, it discovers the solution and demonstrates it by creating a new universe, echoing the biblical phrase, "Let there be light."
