PYGMALION'S SPECTACLES June 1935 by Stanley G. Weinbaum (15 pages) http://www.gutenberg.org/files/22893/22893-h/22893-h.htm Dan Burke meets a strange, gnome-like man while in New York’s Central Park. The man tells Dan about how hard it can be to differentiate between dreams and real life, and then invites Dan to test out a new invention to prove the point. What is this amazing invention you may wonder? Well, it is a type of mask that plunges the wearer into a vivid virtual movie where all one’s senses can be engaged! Nifty huh? Dan tries it out, and guess what? It is pretty convincing – so convincing in fact that even Dan has trouble telling what is real and what is not. That’s too bad, because he meets some pretty amazing people while wearing the spectacles!
