Hi All,
Brand new to the forum. I've been searching for a story I read a long time ago, but all the words I use to search for it bring up too much garbage to sift through on the search engines. I am a huge Asimov fan and have been reading his stories my whole life, so it may be one of his, however I could swear it was in a book of short stories that had something to do with Kurt Vonnegut (contained one of his stories, or editted by him, etc.), but it may just be because I read "The Report on the Barnhouse Effect," around the same time.
The story was about a few guys playing pool, and while they were playing pool they were discussing robots. The end of the story has one of the guys hypothesizing that robots are/will be the evolution of man. I thought the name of the story was something like "Darwins Pool Table," but searches for that have yielded nothing. Does this sound remotely familiar to anyone?
Thanks for the help,
Josh
