1937 science fiction short story by Arthur C. Clarke

"Travel by Wire!" is a science fiction short story by English writer Arthur C. Clarke. His first published story, it was first published in December 1937 in the magazine Amateur Science Stories . It was subsequently published as part of the collection The Best of Arthur C. Clarke 1937-1955. This story is a humorous record on the development of the "radio-transporter" (actually a teleportation machine), and the various technical difficulties and commercial ventures that resulted. In The Collected Stories of Arthur C. Clarke , the author calls the story (as well as his other early writings) "a kind of absolute zero from which my later writing may be calibrated".
