The tales included in this collection were written at a time when the technological revolution was fast becoming a reality. Man was questioning, searching beyond the boundaries of his immediate present and into the future. The answers he provided must be considered in the light of his time: the technical details of an airship’s steering device in 1839; the creation of a thinking machine in a society yet to envision computers; or the simple description of the ultimate weapon at the beginning of a century in which man has come to know the terror of technological war.

The answers these seekers suggested may now appear irrelevant. What remains important, however, are the queries themselves, universal questions that are still being asked today.
