Introduction



Harlan Ellison



And now that you’ve made his acquaintance—and trust me on
this, after the celebrated “Problem of Cell 1 3” you will number this contact among
the most unforgettable in your life—we’ll return to the bewildering challenges
to the ratiocinative intellect of The Thinking Machine in just a moment. But
first, these words from our sponsors:



Friends, do you long for a respite from the anomie of modern
detective fiction? Do you voicelessly cry out for deliverance from tea-cozy melodramas
in which varicose-veined elderly matrons unravel nefarious plots among the
forsythia? Do you weep, in the gentle, lonely, small hours for a world in which
private eyes do not get sapped across the noggin by footpads and yeggs with
lisle stockings stuffed with small change? Is your reading fare fairly
fruitless? Do you feel hemmed in by homicides and henna-haired ’hoors who use
the effword to the ultimate degree of shocklessness? If you tremble at my words,
take heart: we offer you Escape! The sweet opportunity to fiy thee hence, to go
back to Edwardian times in genteel Boston, to an era of ominous gaslight and
the clatter of Hansom cabs, to the recent invention of the ’phone and the
introduction of the auto cab.
