New Worlds Science Fiction #83

# New Worlds Science Fiction, May 1959

This issue features four short stories: "I See You" by Harry Harrison, a tale set in an automated future where a robotically-controlled city judges Carl Tritt guilty of stealing 318,000 credits from the Marcrix Corporation, sentencing him to twenty years; "Project—Stall" by Philip E. High; "The Outstretched Hand" by Arthur Sellings; and "Searchpoint" by Francis G. Rayer. The serial "Count-Down" by Charles Eric Maine concludes in this installment. Kenneth Johns contributes the article "Biologically Speaking." The issue includes a substantial survey report analyzing 500 reader questionnaires from 1958, documenting demographic shifts: increased youth readership (18% under 20 versus 5% in 1955), rising technical employment (52% versus 35%), and higher income levels. An author profile of Philip E. High discusses his entry into science fiction writing.
