In his prophetic 1946 story A Logic Named Joe, he described a world where people had home computers (he called them “logics”) that were all connected to a central system, letting people look up information, watch entertainment, and even communicate across great distances. It’s eerie how close it is to how we actually use the internet today.Today’s Leinster story was first published in Thrilling Wonder Stories in June 1949 on page 128, The Life–Work of Professor Muntz by Murray Leinster…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Beneath the dust of a college museum stands a statue too lifelike to be mere art—Professor Thomas Kelvin, transformed by a strange and deadly fate.
