Yes, I read it as part of a collection of his short stories. I enjoyed the philosophical conundrums in all of them.
On that note, I completely recommend the second compilation of other short stories, Exhalation.
It's amazing that he wrote these stories over decades, publishing them one at a time in sci-fi periodicals as an "amateur". All the while he had a day job as a Technical Writer.
Many writer wrote short stories in periodicals while working on another job before they made it big.
Stephen King published many short stories while working in a laundromat and later as a teacher early in his career.
