The Point of View
by Stanley G. Weinbaum
While the self-proclaimed "great" Haskel van Manderpootz was "deceived" by the coveted Morrell Prize and could not accept a life full of humility, and while discussing different points of view, van Manderpoots launched his next great experiment. One of the classic science fiction duos – the ridiculous inventor Professor Haskel van Manderpootz and the flamboyant man about the city of Dixon Wells – reunites in Stanley Weinbaum's short story The Perspective. In this story, the couple perfects a gadget that will allow users to briefly see the world from another person's perspective.
