Sobre este artículo
Garden City: Doubleday & Company, Inc., 1973. First edition. A fine copy in a nearly fine dust jacket with some toning to the spine panel, a tiny tear at the base of the spine panel. (25821). Octavo, cloth. Collects thirty stories by a hitherto little-known master of SF whose work was published in the New York SUN in the 1870s and 1880s. "Interesting stories, exceptionally well-handled for their period." - Bleiler, Science-Fiction: The Early Years 1522. "Mitchell proves himself a competent, highly imaginative writer." - Clareson, Science Fiction in America, 1870s-1930s 570. Includes "The Ablest Man in the World," a early computer story. "Even though American author Edward Page Mitchell was aware of the dimensions of the Difference Engine, his 1879 story "The Ablest Man in the World" envisions a computer explicitly superior to Babbage's being inserted into the head of a man (transforming him from an idiot into a genius who runs the Russian empire)." - H. Bruce Franklin. Anatomy of Wonder (1981) 1-124; (1987) 1-65; (1995) 1-65; (2004) II-770. Bleiler, The Guide to Supernatural fiction 1181. Reginald 10180.
