comment |
First published in 1981 by editors Isaac Asimov, Martin H. Greenberg, and Charles G Waugh, this Genre Anthology contains fifteen Science Fiction stories, ranging in length from Short Story to Novelette. The introduction describes the Industrial Revolution as the first occasion in which technology would change scientific knowledge within a person's lifetime. Because of the rapid pace of technology and social change, this century saw the birth of Science Fiction.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); }) |

Cruel and Unusual Death: "A Thousand Deaths", by Jack London, has the Character Narrator going through hundreds of deaths at the hands of their father and his two slaves. They experienced death by electrocution, asphyxiation, poison (only three categories, avoiding mineral irritants and corrosives, but including curare), being stored as dead for anywhere between four hours and three months between deaths. |

Character Narrator: "A Thousand Deaths", by Jack London, has an unnamed person narrating the events of the story. "The Lizard", by CJ Cutcliffe Hyne, features a Gentleman Adventurer by the name of Chesney who tells the story as if it were printed in a newspaper and was an accounting of events that occured two years ago. "The Mortal Immortal", by Mary Shelley, has Winzy telling the story about how he became immortal and what happened to his long-dead love. |
