Call Me Wizard: A Positronic Book (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781515450108)

A clever and incisive mid-century science fiction story in which technology, perception, and reputation blur into something resembling magic.

In Call Me Wizard, Evelyn E. Smith explores the uneasy boundary between scientific understanding and the appearance of sorcery. When advanced knowledge is introduced into a society unprepared to interpret it, admiration quickly shifts into misunderstanding. What one culture calls science, another may regard as enchantment-and the consequences of that confusion prove both revealing and disruptive.

With her characteristic restraint and wit, Smith uses speculative premise to examine authority, expectation, and the fragile social structures that determine who is believed and why. Compact yet pointed, the story reflects her distinctive contribution to Golden Age science fiction: intelligent, ironic, and attentive to the human dynamics beneath technological change.
