Undefeatable Little Village | |
| Modern Masterpieces of Science Fiction / int_1e01d7cb | comment |
Undefeatable Little Village: The story "Microcosmic God", by Theodore Sturgeon, posits a scientist living on an island creating a population of small, intelligent creatures that live short lives in an ammonia environment in tanks in his lab. He communicates with them through a teletype connection (it's an old story). They make many great inventions for him because their generations are short in time, so many generations can work on a problem. The outside world wants them, so the navy is poised to attack him. He requires his creatures to build a completely impregnable shield around the island, which they do. The navy spends the rest of time bombarding the grey sphere, and he spends the rest of his days with his creatures. | |

| Modern Masterpieces of Science Fiction / int_4df647d9 | comment |
Billed Above the Title: The 1973 Doorway Into Time cover (by Manor Books) puts all short fiction authors at the top of the cover, then lists the title and Tagline. However, the editor, Sam Moskowitz, is included below the tagline. | |

Explosive Instrumentation | |
| Modern Masterpieces of Science Fiction / int_7f2c7fae | comment |
Explosive Instrumentation: (Downplayed Trope) In "The Strange Flight Of Richard Clayton", by Robert Bloch, the instrument panel of Future was broken under the stress of launch. Without the instruments, Clayton doesn't have access to the radio, to the external cameras, or even to simple measuring devices, so for ten years he'll be unable to do anything more than eat, drink, and sleep. | |

All Just a Dream: In "The Strange Flight Of Richard Clayton", by Robert Bloch, several times Clayton lands on Mars, only to die and realize that the ship hadn't landed yet. Clayton didn't even leave Earth; the rocket's engines failed in a way that made it too dangerous to approach for a week and the constant shaking was driving Clayton insane. | |
