About this issue

The lead feature is Bryan Berry's "Strange Suicide," a science fiction mystery set in a futuristic urban environment featuring null-grav technology, visir communications, and flycar transport. The protagonist Lorens arrives at Dr. AndrUz's office with complete amnesia following a flycar crash, retaining only the doctor's name from a dream-voice. The doctor, who had been expecting him hours earlier, scrutinizes Lorens's identity with mounting fear and secrecy, employing X-ray examination of his possessions and clothing. The narrative builds toward revelation of something concealed in Lorens's garments. Short stories include "Personal Call" by Jonathan Burke, "Brutus" by George Holt, and "Symbiosis" by G.C. Duncan. Non-fiction features cover technological futures: Professor A.M. Low begins a series on future transport; D.F. Chott discusses electronic brains; Walter Graham examines navigation; Peter Summers addresses bipedalism. An art supplement offers illustrated pieces on aviation careers, planetary chemistry, and spacefaring fashion.
