This monthly issue features Kenneth Bulmer's four-part serial "Wisdom of the Gods," concerning ancient civilizations' knowledge implanted in human minds with destructive consequences. E.C. Tubb's novelette "Sense of Proportion" centers on a television producer whose ratings-plagued show resurrects historical figures' lives using electroscanner technology; the protagonist meets with his corporate superior about cancellation threats. Short stories include "Carriage Paid" by William Aitken, "Bighead" by W.T. Webb, "No Time at All" by Mark Patrick, Brian Aldiss's "They Shall Inherit," and Bertram Chandler's "Words and Music." The issue also contains Kenneth Johns's technical feature on lunar crater formation theories, plus editorial columns and reader correspondence. Contributors span established and emerging science-fiction authors.
Each page has its own page — the cartoon, who’s in it, and what the satire means.
