Brain by S. Fowler Wright

Short Story by S. Fowler Wright.

The story of an attempt to seize power in a technocratic future by a scientist armed with various brain-controlling drugs, similarly anticipates - albeit in lurid fashion - modern concerns regarding the advancement of psychotropic chemistry.

Original Sin by S. Fowler Wright

Short Story by S. Fowler Wright.

Excerpt:
I am XP4378882. I write this with a pen, on sheets of paper in the old way, instead of speaking it into a recorder, because I want it to have a chance of survival, even though a time should come when no more of those instruments can be made or preserved; and because it is a very private thing. If this should be seen by one who could read its words, my death would be nearer even than are those of the men and women among whom I move.
I am writing on the 28th day of September, 2838, being nineteen years of age yesterday, and my friend Stella being two minutes younger than I.

First Move by S. Fowler Wright

Short Story by S. Fowler Wright.

Excerpt:
And after that, there will be a great spoil. They will not be an exhausted nation, as were those who suffered defeat under the older methods of conflict - slow, cruel and stupid. They will not be like - shall we say - the Germany of 1945, unfit to export anything but their own diseases. They will pay a rich tribute in corn and cattle, and the manufactures in which they excel, and our people will thrive. We may even be able to give permission for selected women to have four children instead of three.
The chancellor said nothing to that, for, though he did not like the idea of the destruction of the people and property of a friendly nation, it was an argument of great force.
