The Nine Billion Names of God

By: Arthur C. Clarke

Narrated by: Steven Jay Cohen

Words have power. Some words have more power than others. So when a group of monks seek to enlist modern technology in their quest to list all nine billion names of god, there is no telling what may happen.

Arthur C. Clarke walks the line between science and mysticism in this thought-provoking tale. The story was selected in 1970 by the Science Fiction Writers of America as one of the best science fiction short stories published before the creation of the Nebula Awards. It was published in The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Volume One, 1929-1964. In 2004, it won the retrospective Hugo Award for Best Short Story for the year 1954.

GREAT Short Story!

Awesome classic sci-fi with a very good narrator. In the true style of philosophical/speculative sci-fi.

Ages well

I remember this book from grade school it was one of the books that started me on my journey into Si-Fi!

The story is great.

The performance lacked emotion which did not really help me get immersed in the story. This really hurts a great short story

Great Short Story

NOT THE BOOK of Short Stories...
ONLY a SINGLE Short Story!!!
VERY Disappointing
