In this pioneering science-fictional treatment of superhuman intelligence, a mutant wonder child s insights prove devastating. Science fiction luminary Ted Chiang introduces The Hampdenshire Wonder, one of the genre's first treatments of superhuman intelligence. Victor Stott is a large-headed supernormal mutated in the womb by his parents desire to have a child born without habits. Known as the Wonder, Victor surveys humankind s science, philosophy, history, literature, religion the best that has been thought and said and dismisses it brutally: So elementary inchoate a disjunctive patchwork. Rejecting the interposing and utterly false concepts of space and time, the Wonder claims that life itself is merely a disease of the ether. Unable to deal with the child's disenchanting insights, his adult interlocutors seek to silence him perhaps permanently. J.D. Beresford (1873 1947) was an English dramatist, journalist, and author. A great admirer of H.G. Wells, he published the first critical study of Wells's scientific romances in 1915. In addition to The Hampdenshire Wonder (1911), an early and influential proto-sf novel about super-intelligence, his genre novels include A World of Women (1913), Revolution (1921), and The Riddle of the Tower (1944, with Esme Wynne-Tyson).

Recenzijas

"However you interpret Beresfords touching short novel, it remains, like its protagonist, a wonder." Washington Post

"One of the earliest exemplars in SF of the genius unbound, the more-than-human intellect whose insights are sublime and terrible . . . The Hampdenshire Wonder has more than just historical value, and earns this latest reprint." Locus Magazine

"What makes the Radium Age series so valuable is how it illuminates the origins of science fiction tropes we take for granted. . . . The Hampdenshire Wonder tackles transhumanism decades before it became a preoccupation of science fiction and posthumanist philosophy." Boing Boing
