Requirements: ePUB reader, 2.2mb
Overview: Last year a movie called E.T. did something new for a large segment of the American public: it got their sympathies and emotions thoroughly wrapped up in the fate of a nonhuman being from a distant world. Moviegoers had met aliens before, in such films as War of the Worlds, but seldom as fellow creatures with wants and motivations with which humans could empathize. To science fiction readers, on the other hand, the new element in E.T. was not new at all, for the science fiction published in magazines like Analog (formerly called Astounding) has long explored a broad spectrum of possibilities for alien life and intelligence. In the best of these explorations it was taken for granted that aliens, like us, would have thoughts and feelings that made no less sense than ours—though it’s important to realize that they might make a very different kind of sense. As former editor John W. Campbell used to challenge his writers, “Show me a creature that thinks as well as a man—but not like a man.”
