The Ego Machine

About this book

This is a novelette which Henry Kuttner (actually, like almost all of his fiction, it was co-written with his wife, C.L. Moore) published in the magazine Space Science Fiction in 1952. It is a humorous story about a serious writer trying to extricate himself from the clutches of a Hollywood studio which wants him to write schlock screenplays; he accomplishes his goal with the help of a visiting alien robot (but only after he learns how to get the robot "high" on jolts of electricity). (Not surprisingly, Kuttner was doing some screenwriting at this time.) All of Kuttner's SF is readable (and some of it is superb), but this is not one of his best.
