Double Take

by Ken Winney (Winston K. Marks)

About this book

A Hollywood technician recounts the arrival of a gifted stereo-physicist whose new lens promises to revive the film industry. As studios experiment with increasingly immersive entertainment, technical ambition becomes entangled with attraction, jealousy and assumptions about what audiences want.

Ken Winney, a pseudonym of Winston K. Marks, turns a speculative projection system into a comic examination of the movie business and romantic perception. This complete story first appeared in Science Fiction Adventures in December 1953. The original illustration by Alex Schomburg and the ebook’s transcription and rights notices are preserved.
