- Summary:
- Sci-fi luminary Stanley G. Weinbaum first broke through with the hugely influential story A Martian Odyssey , one of the first to depict an alien being in a somewhat sympathetic light. Written in 1935, the short tale Pygmalion's Spectacles is no less innovative: it centers around the implications of a technology that's surprisingly close to what we now call virtual reality.
