In the article, based on the material of micro story of F. Brown “The answer” (1954) the spectrum of key philosophical problems is analysed which are raised by the science fiction writer: from the issue about existence of higher intelligence in the Universe to the fundamental value foundations of being. In the course of analysis and interpretation there are viewed in detail artistic concept sphere and story symbolism, there are revealed its intertextual and motivational parallel with Judeo-Christian theology (Bible tradition) and general philosophical context (consonance with some ideological installations of Xenophanes of Colophon, L. Feuerbach and others). By the opinion of the article author, specified text must be attributed to the category of “stories-warnings”, containing consistent anti-utopian critics of scientific (cybernetic) model of surviving. Within the last one there is inevitably paradoxical reversal of roles of creator and its creation, leading of fatal end.
