As readers, our job here is not to point and say, "Oh, how quaint!" so much as it is to view this collection as a time capsule to the so-called Golden Era of science fiction....these stories are surprising not only for showing what has changed in SF over the years, but also for what has not changed: the scientist as hero, and technology portrayed as essentially neutral, only assigned good and evil according to the nature of the people who wield it.
