All the Troubles of the World

Isaac Asimov

First published April 1958
Type Short Fiction
Length Short Story

Synopsis

The giant computer that manages the country and predicts problems so they can be averted, including crimes, pinpoints a seemingly innocuous man as about to commit murder; or worse.

Notes

The Fawcett Crest printings of the Nine Tomorrows collection incorrectly lists the story All the Troubles of the World as All the Troubles in the World in the table of contents though the correct wording is used in the body of the publication.
