The Feeling of Power
"The Feeling of Power" is a science fiction short story by American writer Isaac Asimov. The story first appeared in the February 1958 issue of "If: Worlds of Science Fiction", and was reprinted in the 1959 collection "Nine Tomorrows", the 1969 retrospective "Opus 100", and the 1986 collection "Robot Dreams". In the introduction to "Robot Visions", Asimov lists this story as one of the notable robot stories.

The story is representative of the genre of sci-fi that started at the 50s, as a reaction to computers around the theme of caution against human mental atrophy in the computer era. In a similar vein, is Arthur Clarke's "Into the Comet' of 1960.
