Requirements: ePUB reader, 1.7mb
Overview: William Tenn (real name Philip Klass) was born on May 9, 1920 in London, England. Phillip Klass moved to New York City with his parents before his second birthday and grew up in Brooklyn, the oldest of three children. After serving in the United States Army during World War II as a combat engineer in Europe, he held a job as a technical editor with an Air Force radar and radio laboratory and was employed by Bell Labs.
He began writing while working at Bell Labs, and his radar lab experience prompted his first story, “Alexander the Bait”, about a radar beam aimed at the moon.
His second story, the widely reprinted “Child’s Play” (1947), told of a lawyer who creates people with his Bild-A-Man kit, a Christmas gift intended for a child of the future. After publication in Astounding Science Fiction (May 1946), Klass was soon hailed as the science fiction field’s reigning humorist, and during the early 1950s, readers of Galaxy Science Fiction looked forward to issues featuring his satirical science fiction.
