Divided We Fall • novella by Raymond F. Jones Divided We Fall is a short story by Raymond F. Jones, originally published in Amazing Stories in 1950. It was rewritten as a novel called Syn. The story involves a man's return to Earth after a multi-year contract job on another planet. The Earth he comes back to, however, has undergone a devastating social upheaval. Apparently, a new race of "Synthetic Humans", or "Syns" has been created and is now intent on taking over the world. Meanwhile, the real humans are trying to destroy them. The problem is, the only way to identify a "Syn" is by a highly sensitive ECG's reading of a particular brainwave pattern, and the Syns are said to have the ability to fool the test much of the time, so they can "pass" many such tests before being detected. When they are detected, they are arrested and sent to be exterminated. "Adapted to television as an episode of the ABC (UK) show "Out of This World." First aired on August 25th, 1962." 148 • The Reader's Forum (Amazing Stories, December 1950) • essay by The Editor 153 • Cosmotronic Colossus! • essay by June Lurie 154 • Facts of the Future (Amazing Stories, December 1950) • essay by Lynn Standish 156 • The Club House (Amazing Stories, December 1950) • essay by Rog Phillips 161 • Satanic Satellite • short fiction by Cal Webb Hugo Gernsback emigrated to the USA in 1904, designed the world's first home radio set, and began a mail-order business to distribute the device.
