Notes

Astounding Stories, June 1935, illustrated by Dold.
From "The Shifting Realities of Philip K. Dick" in the article "Will the Atomic Bomb Ever Be Perfected?" Dick writes "Out of the SF that I have read, one story means more to me than many others. It is Harry Bates's "Alas, All Thinking." It is the beginning and the end of of literate science fiction. Alas."
