- The Ideal (short story) by Stanley G. Weinbaum
The Franciscan introduces his "automaton" to a youth and claims that the iron head will speak at the proper time and reveal all secret knowledge. But the Dr. Mirabilis watched the head for weeks without hearing a word... but then, the image spoke.
Published 1935 ~ Wonder Stories
I love his Van Manderputz stories.
Market crash in 2009? That is remarkably close.
Great little series by Weinbaum. I'm now a fan.
"take two holidays!" Wow. Things were better back then
Excellent narration. So grateful for reacting to well intentioned critique. All the best.
Love this. A tiny diamond in the rough. I've been researching mid-century science fiction in the radio medium as well as traditional literature, to a lesser extent and much of it for seventeen years. As much as I DO love it, it can get dull after nearly two decades but I enjoyed this more than anything else I have discovered thus far this last year. Can't wait to dig up more on Weinbaum.
Amazingly ahead of its time for1935. It may even be still be.
What actor would you all like to see cast in the role of van Manderputz? Dixon?
