Originally published in an original anthology entitled Frontiers 1: Tomorrow’s Alternatives, which was created by Roger Elwood and published by Macmillan in 1973 (there was a time when there was a vogue for original anthologies, and a breed of professional anthologists arose, who sometimes used a numbering system to help consumers avoid getting lost in the deluge of such), this story faded into the background of its era. But it nonetheless touched on a number of the themes Clifford Simak pursued over the years, hinting at newly sensed interconnections among them—and that, most of all, because it was so important to Cliff to explore the idea of whether humans have souls, and whether technology can help us to figure that out.

And completely overlooked is the dropped—and not pursued—suggestion that something we now call “virtual reality” could make a difference in the creation of a newer, greener, way of human life.
