Some classic short story recommendations:
“Nightfall” by Isaac Asimov. It’s classic for a reason and the ending will probably give most LessWrongers shivers.
“The Dead Past” by Isaac Asimov. Not as highly regarded as Nightfall, but it has become even more relevant today in at least two directions than it was when Asimov wrote it and presents real, genuine moral difficulties that are neither contrived nor given the standard treament. Refreshing!
