It blows me away that Understand was written in 1991. It's grows more relevant with time.

One of my favorite short stories of all time! Like Flowers for Algernon x The Bourne Identity. Bless you for this reading! Chiang could have expanded this into a franchise but it totally fits the short story format & I admire writers who can let good ideas be one offs

For those of you who like this book, I highly recommend you read or listen to the book The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect, a 1994 novella by Roger Williams, a programmer living in New Orleans. I also recommend Blood Music, a science fiction novel by American writer Greg Bear.

The author of Limitless (Alan Glynn) must’ve took inspiration from this book because there are some major similarities in both stories.

This book must've took inspiration from Lest we remember by Isaac Asimov because there some similarities. But I think that The dark field aka Limitless is much closer to Lest we remember that he is to Understand. Understand is a thing of its own.

Dang too bad they couldn't work together in making the planet a better place. And had to compete. They both had ideas and goals that they wanted to help guide the planet to a better society. Just different methods. If only people could let go of their greed and selfish desires and just work on cooperation of the planetary and universal whole. Doubly so when they reach enlightening mental awareness of themselves and the spheres.
