The Last Letter by Fritz Leiber

In a world where machines process every thought and feeling into profitable noise, one young man risks catastrophe for a message meant for one pair of human eyes. When the system convulses under the strain of something it cannot categorize, the question becomes whether a single handwritten page is worth planetary panic. The Last Letter by Fritz Leiber. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Fritz Leiber wrote some interesting and unusual stories. Today’s tale is both of those. It has been translated and reprinted all over the world in French, Swedish, Finnish, Italian, German and Dutch since it was originally published in the June 1958 Galaxy Science Fiction. Turn to page 45, The Last Letter by Fritz Leiber…

Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A lone meteor miner risks everything to board a drifting interplanetary liner, only to find blood on the deck and something unseen stalking the corridors. To claim the fortune within, he must decide whether he can face the invisible terror that destroyed an entire crew. Salvage in Space by Jack Williamson.
