The Ugly Little Boy	comment	First published as "Lastborn" in Galaxy Science Fiction (September 1958 issue), by Isaac Asimov, this Novelette was quickly republished in Galaxy's UK, French, and Italian issues (in November 1958). The title was changed by Dr Asimov.Edith Fellows enters Stasis One with a plan to help Timmie, then has a Flashback to when she was offered the job at Stasis Incorporated to explain How We Got Here.Dr Gerald Hoskins runs Stasis Incorporated, and interviewed Miss Fellowes because he needed someone that loved children and understood complex physiological and chemical processes. The company has been manufacturing Chronoscopes by analyzing mesons and building Time Machines in preparation for this grand experiment; they will take a child from forty thousand years ago.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Miss Fellowes immediately takes charge of the scientists and gets the boy cleaned, dressed, and fed. Over the next three years, she sings, teaches, and begins to love the boy despite her professional approach. After an incident where Timmie fights with Dr Hoskins' son, she decides that she needs to rescue Timmie from Stasis, catching up to the opening.Dr Hoskins has come to a similar decision, and was preparing to send Timmie back to the past that night. Unable to take Timmie with her into the present day, Miss Fellowes deactivates the Stasis bubble and goes to the past with Timmie.This story was adapted into an episode of Classics Dark and Dangerous in 1977 directed by Barry Morse and Don Thompson. In 1989, Tor Books published it as #9 in their Double Sided Book series, with The Widget The Wadget And Boff on the opposite side. In 1992, this story was adapted into a novel co-written with Robert Silverberg. In addition, "The Ugly Little Boy" was republished twenty times, including eight of Dr Asimov's collections; Nine Tomorrows (1959), The Best Science Fiction Of Isaac Asimov (1986), Robot Dreams (1986), Other Worlds Of Isaac Asimov (1987), The Asimov Chronicles Fifty Years Of Isaac Asimov (1989), The Complete Stories Volume 1 (1990), Die Asimov Chronik Die Vierte Generation (1991), and Foundations Friends Stories In Honor Of Isaac Asimov (1997).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })

The Ugly Little Boy / int_2b8a8660	comment	10,000 Years: At the start of the story, the furthest back that Stasis can look is prehistorical times, and this is often referred to as "more than ten thousand years". It's a big celebration when they can finally target someone in the fourteenth century AD.

The Ugly Little Boy / int_f32d85ab	comment	20 Minutes into the Future: This work could be recreated at nearly any time, since the advanced technology is mostly fancy sci-fi sounding words. There's blink-and-you'll-miss-it references to a Mars landing, telenews, and pocket-viewing-plates. The major tech-level change is the Time Travel that Stasis Incorporated provides, which is leading the field.
