Engaging Story But Not the Heechee Saga By Cheopys Some years after a nuclear war civilization survives in a few sparsely populated cites; the character of the title is a brain without a body coveted by the administrators of New York City to run a power station and free dozens of laborers for other work.Little trace of the wry wit of later Pohl can be discerned in this little tale. It's a nice read but was obviously written very long before Pohl had developed his style.

Almost a generation before the current spate of post-apocalyptic fiction (and completely free of zombies!), Frederik Pohl wrote this tale in 1958-- anticipating not merely an entire sub-genre of science fiction but the actual scientific "innovation" of nuclear bombs designed to kill people but leave property relatively intact and non-radioactive, last heard of, I believe, in the mid-1980s.This story's three protagonists were enlisted sailors on a deployed submarine when the bombs went off, and were simply discharged into what was left of America after the sub returned to port. Two of the three are recognizable as Navy vets-- the third much less so, as Navy surgeons preserved his brain in a steel container following his being seriously injured. Arthur, the sailor reduced to a brain in a can, is quite conscious and capable, when attached to an electric typewriter (this was written before computers), of communicating. Like a sailor-- there's nothing mechanical about him, other than his 'body'.The story involves an unlikely plot, a major in the Air Force Reserves (who runs the City of New York, population 15,000), a pretty girl (of course), and an enormous and luxurious ocean liner. What's not to like?
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. An old classic By Michael Schimmel I remember when Pohl first published this story in the old "Galaxy" magazine. It included a couple of illustrating cartoons from an artist who later made his name with "Mad Magazine" (which name I can't remember, alas!). This version doesn't include the cartoons, but it's still a nice, light romp in a quite original post-apocalyptic world. It involves a brain in a suitcase"Arthur", a couple of con-man characters who are Arthur's protectors and friends, a blustery former military officer who took over a depopulated New York City, and a very large ship. Really fun reading!
