The Transvection Machine
“His parents were medical missionaries laboring among one of the few remaining Indian tribes on the North American continent. Of necessity, their life imprisoned him in a culture and a milieu that were totally foreign to the pace and thrust of the twenty-first century. His boyhood was spent among the quiet people of the reservation, except for the annual trips south to Winnipeg, which began with his ninth birthday.
Euler Frost’s father was a good man, and often on the trips south he would point ...out the advances of civilization. His eyes were always on the sky, and he had named his son after a crater of the Moon. But Winnipeg in the third decade of the century was a sprawling metropolitan area of some two million people, capital of the fifty-fifth state, center for the computerized mineral exploration of all the states in the far north. “The machines,” his father told him. “Beware of the machines. Someday they will make slaves of us all.”
He remembered those words when his father died.MoreLess
