Synopsis

Coveting someone's wife and place in the world is an old, old story-except that the woman and the place Philip coveted were his own! What might alternate time-lines in alternate universes hold. Be careful what you wish for. Evelyn E. Smith is best known as the author of the Miss Melville mysteries. From 1952 to 1969 she wrote dozens of science fiction and fantasy short stories that appeared in magazines such as The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, Galaxy, Super Science Fiction, and Fantastic Universe. Her stories were witty, well written, often humorous, and always unforgettable.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

A clever and incisive mid-century science fiction story in which technology, perception, and reputation blur into something resembling magic.In Call Me Wizard, Evelyn E. Smith explores the uneasy boundary between scientific understanding and the appearance of sorcery. When advanced knowledge is introduced into a society unprepared to interpret it, admiration quickly shifts into misunderstanding. What one culture calls science, another may regard as enchantment-and the consequences of that confusion prove both revealing and disruptive.With her characteristic restraint and wit, Smith uses speculative premise to examine authority, expectation, and the fragile social structures that determine who is believed and why. Compact yet pointed, the story reflects her distinctive contribution to Golden Age science fiction: intelligent, ironic, and attentive to the human dynamics beneath technological change.Explore other exciting Positronic Books devoted to classic science fiction, fantasy, and mystery.
