About this issue

Authentic Science Fiction, Volume 1, No. 49 (September 1954), presents five science fiction short stories alongside scientific and technical articles. E.C. Tubb's "Logic" features a psychologist investigating deadly malfunctions in newly developed humanoid robots—sophisticated positronic machines that either freeze unresponsively or suddenly run amok, killing indiscriminately. No mechanical defect can be identified despite rigorous testing. Dan Morgan's "Forgive Them" addresses mature themes across a wider narrative scope; Jonathan Burke's "Asteroid Crusoe" explores a variation on the last-survivor motif; E. Everett Evans contributes a comedic piece titled "Insomnia Cure"; Richard Wilson returns with an unsettling narrative; and Edmund Cooper's "Jar of Latakia" addresses the boundaries between science fiction and fantasy. Nonfiction articles include W.W. Byford's "Space and Mr. Newton," Peter Summers's essay on brain-body relations, Frank Wilson's inaugural "The Ways of Science," and coverage of the Liverpool S.F. Society.
