By the year 2660, science has transformed and conquered the world,
rescuing humanity from itself. Spectacular inventions from the
farthest reaches of space and deep beneath the earth are available
to meet every need, providing antidotes to individual troubles and
social ills. Inventors are highly prized and respected, and they
are jealously protected and lavishly cared for by world
governments. That support and acclaim, however--as the most
brilliant of scientists, Ralph 124C 41], discovers--is not without
its price.
This visionary novel of the twenty-seventh century was written
by Hugo Gernsback (1887-1964), founder of the influential magazine
"Amazing Stories." Marvelously prophetic and creative, "Ralph 124C
41+" celebrates technological advances and entrances readers with
an exuberant, unforgettable vision of what our world might become.
This commemorative edition makes this landmark tale widely
available for the first time in decades and features the prized
Frank R. Paul illustrations from the rare first edition, a list of
inventions and technological devices, and Hugo Gernsback's prefaces
to the first and second editions.
