In "The Worlds of If," author Stanley Weinbaum plays with a concept that has been at the center of countless science fiction tales before and after: how the most minute shifts can alter the past, present and future. In this case, nutty professor Haskel van Manderpootz invents a contraption that allows users to view alternate life paths that might have transpired if they had made different choices along the way.

Sci-fi luminary Stanley G. Weinbaum first broke through with the hugely influential story "A Martian Odyssey," one of the first to depict an alien being in a somewhat sympathetic light. Written in 1935, the short tale "Pygmalion's Spectacles" is no less innovative: it centers around the implications of a technology that's surprisingly close to what we now call virtual reality.

Pat is a beautiful young woman with many admirers. Nick is a young man with a secret. When his dark side interferes with their burgeoning love, things turn grim, and psychologist Carl Horker has to intervene.

After making science-fiction history with his beloved and broadly influential tale "A Martian Odyssey," Stanley G. Weinbaum turned his creative powers to a series of stories starring a mismatched pair of protagonists: legend-in-his-own-mind Professor Haskel van Manderpootz and dashing aristocrat Dixon Wells. In the engaging short story "The Ideal," the two develop a device that allows the user to catch a fleeting glimpse of his or her ideal in any category -- person, place or thing.

One of science fiction's classic duos – wacky inventor Professor Haskel van Manderpootz and dashing man-about-town Dixon Wells – team up again in Stanley Weinbaum's short story "The Point of View." In this tale, the pair are perfecting a gadget that will allow users to briefly view the world from another person's point of view.
