the same angular, shiny, samurai-shouldered costume, recalling simultaneously William Gibson's "The Gernsback Continuum" and Riff Raff and Magenta at the end of The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975).
Apparently those costumes inspired Forrest J. Ackerman and Myrtle R. Jones to cosplay at the 1939 Worldcon. (http://www.stuffmomnevertoldyou.com/blog/the-first-lady-of-cosplay/)
A discontented artist who wants to give Progress a break whips the populace into a Luddite frenzy; they run to break up the space gun2 with metal bars, which seemed not very plausible to either of us, and if the entire city feels that ambivalently about space travel, maybe the technocracy should take it into account?
Radio Pundit Ralph Richardson claims to be opposed to the safe, boring life in Future Everytown, but convinces his listeners that if they allow volunteers to risk space travel, next thing you know it'll be compulsory for everyone, OMG think of the children. I can't figure out if he's hypocritically trolling all concerned, or if it all makes sense to him.
There's a space gun. It's H.G. Wells. The documentary that came with our copy insists that by 1936 everyone else working on the film thought the space gun was a ridiculous concept, but Wells insisted it was thematically necessary.
