SciFi/Fantasy Magazine Covers

Science Fiction Stories vol. 7, no. 4 (January 1957)

I love the prosaic quality of this contrasted with the space setting. No knock on the door from an officious-looking old dude carrying a briefcase is good news, right?

Also "Male Strikebreaker"? Someone has to read that story please, so. many. questions.

Original magazine: archive.org/details/Science_Fi

A middle-aged man in a space suit carrying a briefcase is knocking on a door protruding from the surface of a planet. Through a glass panel, another man below reacts negatively to the knock at the door. Science Fiction Stories magazine cover from 1957.

The "Male" was added by an editor for unknown reasons. Asimov said it "represents my personal record for stupid title changes".

tl;dr: A settled asteroid population treats the sewage treatment plant operator like, well, you know. So he goes on strike and everyone is going to die in their own filth rather than treat him like a human being.

Do you mean changing the title? No idea.

Do you mean why would people be assholes to other people over class issues? No way I can address that, but it happens a lot in human history.
