Krátky popis
Later described as "the lost giant of American science fiction,"
Edward Page Mitchell wrote many science fiction and fantasy short
stories in the 1870's to 1890's, nearly all of which were published
anonymously in the The Sun daily newspaper of New York. Mitchell
was editor-in-chief of The Sun and was a member of the Pulitzer
Prize Board for many years. Mitchell introduced many technological
and social predictions which were daring for the time, prior to
similar predictions by famous authors, such as travel by pneumatic
tube, electrical heating, newspapers printed in the home by
electrical transmission, food-pellet concentrates, international
broadcasts, suspended animation of a living human being through
freezing (cryogenics), a man rendered invisible by scientific
means, a time-travel machine, faster-than-light travel, a thinking
computer, a cyborg, matter transmission or teleportation, voting by
American women, and interracial marriage. His fantasy stories
dabble with the occult and bizarre, involving ghosts, the Devil,
masochism, inanimate objects coming to life, and more.THE TACHYPOMP
