- Synopsis
- A robot controls a family&’s diet with disturbing exactitude in this 1958 novella by the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author—with a new forward.Celebrated author Robert Silverberg was twenty-two years old when he wrote The Iron Chancellor, his second contribution to the pioneering science fiction magazine Galexy. It tells the story of a man who purchases a robot to help himself and his family lose weight. The scheme goes awry as the robot assumes totalitarian control over the household. This early work demonstrates Silverberg&’s prodigious talent as well as his influences, such as Henry Kuttner&’s Gallegher stories and Robert Sheckley&’s AAA Ace Series. Fans of Silverberg&’s renowned novels, such as Sailing to Byzantium and Gilgamesh in the Outback, will enjoy this early work by the SFWA Grand Master.
