The Hole in the Moon by Margaret St. Clair:
Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas

"The Listening Child, the first story published hy Idris Seabright [Margaret St. Clair] (F&SF, Decemher, 1950), was chosen by Martha Foley for her list of distinguished American short stories of the year, and is still often mentioned by our readers for its evocative and haunting quality. Later Seabrights have been no less popular; and this new one, we hope, may prove her most memorable yet. The New Barbarism of a future post-war world has hem treated often and at great length; but this brief vignette carries more meaning and poetry than the most detailed extensive studies. As with so much Seabright, you may find it running through your head like an unforgettable minor melody." Select an invention:
