Gold was a short story by Isaac Asimov , originally collected in the eponymous volume Gold . It was one of the last short stories he wrote in his life, and is considered by some to be his last significant piece of writing. It won a Hugo Award for Best Novellette in 1992 . The story describes the efforts of fictional Computer Animators to create a "compu-drama" from the second section of his novel The Gods Themselves . The story attributes this middle portion to an author named Gregory Laborian, saying it is a stand-alone novel entitled ''Three In One''. Laborian convinces director Jonas Willard, who had won fame for a CGI version of '' King Lear '', to create an animated version of Laborian's story. Besides demonstrating Asimov's admiration for William Shakespeare 's plays, "Gold" may be taken as a response to criticisms of Asimov's non-visual writing style. |
