Born in the Wrong Century |
| | Isaac Asimov Presents: The Great Science Fiction Stories, Volume 14 (1952) / int_38b48685 |
comment |
Born in the Wrong Century: Alfred Bester's "Hobsons Choice": The main character lives in the aftermath of a nuclear apocalypse. He believes he lives in the worst time ever and dreams of escaping to the past. He discovers time travelers appearing from a small town and finds out that they are being sent there as a form of therapy because they believe that his time period is a Golden Age. The time travel technicians point out to him that in real life it would be nearly impossible for anyone to adapt adequately to live in a past time period. The time travelers are being sent back as a form of therapy to get them to readjust to life in their present, and most soon come back after finding they can't live in that time period. It is also pointed out that there is probably no point in time that someone, somewhere, and somewhen doesn't think is a golden age |

comment |
Master of Illusion: Walter M Miller Jr's "Command Performance": Kenneth Grearly has practiced his telepathy enough to conjure false images into another person's mind. He tries to control Lisa Waverly with this until she turns it around, making him believe in phantom cars, causing him to leap into the path of a real car. |

Fantastic Science: Walter M Miller Jr's "Command Performance": Kenneth Grearly calls themselves a psychophysicist, someone who studies the physics of things like Telepathy. They chose that field of study because they have the ability to share feelings and thoughts with other people. |
