The Early Pohl by Frederik Pohl
Requirements: .ePUB, .MOBI/.AZW reader, 1.3MB
Overview: In the winter of 1933, when I was just turned thirteen, I discovered three new truths.
The first truth was that the world was in a hell of a mess. The second was that I really was not going to spend my life being a chemical engineer, no matter what I had told my guidance counselor at Brooklyn Technical High School. And the third was that in my conversion to science fiction as a way of life I Was Not Alone.
All of these new discoveries were important to me, and in a way they were all related. I had just started the second semester of my freshman year at Brooklyn Tech. It was a cold, grimy winter in the deepest depths of the Great Depression. There was not much joy to be found. Men were selling apples in the streets. The unemployed stood in bread lines and prayed for snow that meant there would be work shoveling it off the sidewalks. Roosevelt had just been elected President but hadn’t yet taken office—Inauguration Day, still geared to the stagecoach schedules of 1789, had not yet been moved up from March 4. Banks were going broke.
