038- The Machine, by Richard German, 1946
Wherein a stable individual constructs a machine that runs.
Ruiz Tremello & Marguerite are in Kamehameha, Quebec, discussing Richard German's 1946 short story, "The Machine"! Where do I begin on this one?
Okay, first off, I still haven't been able to find any good information about Richard German, who he is, what book / stories he wrote; nothing. Perhaps my Google Fu is lacking, but I went through ten pages of results and haven't found anything useful. If anyone has any useful information, let us know!
Also, I forgot to ask Marguerite to describe the cover for our listeners: but that's mostly because we've already done it. Today's story was pulled from "13 Great Stories of Science-Fiction"; if you want to see the cover, check the show notes for Episode 33, "Volpla's". And if you want to see the back cover, check the show notes for Episode 35, "Soap Opera" .The image in today’s show notes is the front inside-cover of that wonderful collection.
Seriously tho, Who Is Richard German?
