	Ralph 124C 41+ -- A Romance of the Year 2660
		He was Ralph 124C 41+, one of the greatest living scientists and one of ten men on the whole planet earth permitted to use the Plus sign after his name.
		This, Ralph appreciated, was an attempt at mollification with perhaps a touch of coquetry.
		Gernsback developed 'Ralph 124C 41' as a pen name in 1911 and that began a sequence of events that ended in a visionary early science fiction novel of almost the same name, Ralph 124C 41+.

	Ralph 124C41+: A Romance of the Year 2660 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		In the year 2660, Ralph 124C 41+ is, as denoted by the plus sign suffix to his name, one of the top ten scientists in the world, and as such is forbidden to engage in anything potentially injurious.
		During a ‘telephot’ call (a telephot being a kind of videophone) he gets a misdirected call from an Alice of Switzerland and – having saved her from an avalanche by a remarkable procedure involving the erection of antennae and a concentration of rays – the two fall in love.
		Most of the novel is taken up with Alice and her father visiting Ralph at his New York home and laboratory from whence Ralph takes them on a tour, demonstrating to them the wonders of the modern world (which obviously in 2660 does not include Switzerland).

		Ralph, which has been printed, reprinted and then translated into French, German, and Russian during its 52 years, is still regarded with awe, and in some cases with active loathing, by science fiction writers, editors and fans.
		By this yardstick Ralph was the first major work of science fiction, and all that went before and a great deal which has followed is to be considered mere crabgrass in the lawn of verity.
		Ralph 124C 41+ was whacked together simply as a vehicle for scientific prediction, and as such it is an astonishing performance.

		His inventions have helped make the world a better placed to live in and his every thought is devoted to scientific thought - until he meets Alice 212B 423 and she instantly becomes the object of his affections.
		True enough, the plot is old-hat and the style is awkward - but even so "Ralph"- is thoroughly delightful.

		Ralph 124C41+ was the title of a novel by Hugo Gernsback, who later (by about 15 years or so) founded Amazing Stories, the first magazine devoted exclusively to science fiction (a phrase Gernsback coined, by the way).
		Gernsback actually developed "Ralph 124C 41" as a pen name in 1911, beginning a sequence of events that ended in that early science fiction novel of almost the same name in 1925.

		In 1908, Gernsback started publishing his science-based stories in his magazine Modern Electrics (for which he coined the term scientifiction that has thankfully not survived).
		In 1911-12 he wrote and published a serial with the snappy title Ralph 124C 41+, set 750 years in the future.
		The personage of the title was “one of the greatest living scientists and one of ten men on the whole planet earth permitted to use the Plus sign after his name”.

		The author of this one -- the man who coined the term "science fiction" -- has, of course, been immortalized by the annual SF awards given out with his name on 'em.
		Ralph 124C 41+ was originally written in serial between 1911-12.
		Today it is a novel primarily of interest to those curious to see the roots of SF; the characters are fairly wooden, the story is rather more futuristic travelogue than novel, but the technological wonders of the 27th century dreamed up by Gernsback show an inspiring depth of imagination.

	ERBzine 1462: Hugo Gernsback Connection
		In 1911, the same year that Burroughs wrote his first novel, A Princess of Mars, Gernsback serialized his novel, Ralph 124C41+: A Romance of the Year 2660, a gadget tale that revealed his overriding interest in science fiction as a vehicle of prediction.
		In Ralph 124C 41+, a novel he wrote and serialized in 1911, Mr.
		Gernsback described what he and colleagues subsequently classified as radar, the direction finder, space travel, germicidal rays, micro-film, two-way television, night baseball, tape records, artificial silk and wool, stainless steel, magnesium as a structural material, and flourescent lighting.

		But then again, Gernsback's Ralph 124C 41+ is a truly seminal sf work...
		I do not assert their status as great literature, but important to the development of science fiction and, to quite a few people, still very enjoyable, that I do, and most emphatically; not only from my own tastes, but from working at bookstores and dealing with no few readers over the years.
		Whereas "Uncle Hugo" (I won't give HPL's designation here, in deference to others) and his Ralph 124C 41+ is simply unreadable unless you grit your teeth, much like Poe's The Journal of Julius Rodman, or the Marquis von Grosse's Horrid Mysteries.

	The Mumpsimus
		The trouble is, if a story is primarily concerned with wowing readers with a concept -- that literal rocket ship, for instance -- the story loses its value if the concept gets overtaken by the wonders of reality.
		Hugo Gernsback's novel Ralph 124C 41+ was first published in 1926, the same year that Kafka's The Castle was first printed.
		A reader who approached Ralph 124C 41+ with no interest in technology as technology (and not a metaphor for anything) would, even in 1926, have been profoundly bored, if not completely perplexed, by the book.

		Its editor was Hugo Gernsback, an emigrant from Luxembourg who was basically a keen exponent of Radio and Electronics, and who had previously published a magazine on these subjects.
		In 1911 he had written a novel of the ear 2660, entitled Ralph 124C 41+, which in terms of everyday language meant 'One to foresee for one', the 'plus' sign denoting Ralph's high mental rating.
		Today this book, in any edition, is a rare possession, even though many would tend to consider it rather naive.

		His PULP MAGAZINES lent what aid they could, practically and imaginatively, to the cause.
		In Modern Electrics he serialized his own utopian romance Ralph 124C 41+ (1911-12; 1925), and he regarded "scientifiction" as a means of promoting the magnificent potential of modern TECHNOLOGY.
		By the time AMAZING STORIES was founded in 1926, however, there had been a considerable loss of faith in utopian thought, and dystopian images of the future were becoming commonplace.

		Hugo Gernsback -- Ralph 124C 41+ Visit the scientific restaurant where people are fed scientific mixtures through long tubes!
		This is often touted as an example of a badly- written story with brilliant predictions, but in fact the science is ludicrous (Ralph fls out regions by sucking out the luminiferous ether, though the book edition of the story appeared in 1925) while the writing, pulpish as it is, is quite readable.
		This unintentionally hilarious classic has been reprinted recently by the University of Nebraska press.

		The result is a text-based history, paying little or no attention to the role of the pulp magazines, fandom, and paperback publishing in the genre's evolution.
		John W. Campbell appears mainly as a writer of post-Wellsian space operas, while Hugo Gernsback is no longer the "father of science fiction" (a title that is passed back to Verne), but rather the author of the quaintly Victorian "Ralph 124C 41+."
		So far so good: Pierce, on the whole, offers a reasonably reliable and impeccably mainstream view of SF history.
