For the vintage sci-fi aficionado! Up for grabs is a 1958 first printing of The Forever Machine (originally titled They'd Rather Be Right). This Hugo Award-winning novel is a cornerstone of 1950s speculative fiction, exploring the ethics of "Bossy," a machine that grants immortalitybut only to those with an open mind.
This edition is highly sought after for the striking cover illustration by Wallace (Wally) Wood, one of the most influential comic and sci-fi artists of the era.
