The Hampdenshire Wonder
In this pioneering science-fictional treatment of superhuman intelligence, a mutant wonder child s insights prove devastating. Science fiction luminary Ted Chiang introduces The Hampdenshire Wonder, one of the genre's first treatments of superhuman intelligence. Victor Stott is a large-headed supernormal mutated in the womb by his parents desire to have a child born without habits.

Rejecting the interposing and utterly false concepts of space and time, the Wonder claims that life itself is merely a disease of the ether. Unable to deal with the child's disenchanting insights, his adult interlocutors seek to silence him perhaps permanently. J.D. Beresford (1873 1947) was an English dramatist, journalist, and author. A great admirer of H.G. Wells, he published the first
