LeRoy Miller finished reading The Artificial Man by Clare Winger Harris
Interesting story.
User Profile
I enjoy science fiction works, and some detective stories. Mostly short stories, and mostly works that have entered into the public domain. Don't have a lot of time to read which I'm hoping will change in this new year.

LeRoy Miller reviewed A Tale of Negative Gravity by Frank R. Stockton
Fun short story, if not somewhat predictable.
3 stars
This story seems to be written in an older style English, but still is a fun short story. It's a bit predictable at times. But still probably worth reading if you have a little free time.

LeRoy Miller finished reading Mixture of Genius by Arnold Castle
It's ok, but not great - and I kind of lost track of what was happening. But that maybe because of how long it took me to finish the story and not the story itself.

The first half of this story really echos a lot of what people say now about robots, and A.I. taking over. There is a twist closer to the end that kind of ruins the first part of the story (at least looking at it from modern eyes.) There are so many things this books remind me of, Earth: Final Conflict, parts of I, Robot (2004), "What are little Girls made of " - Star Trek TOS, and more. I can't say for sure if any of these were influenced by this story, maybe in some small way they were. This is another story I want to put on the re-read list, it's a really good story, that probably should get more attention.
