As well as considering why Australian writers should choose to write science fiction and the relationship between science fiction and fantasy, the introduction also briefly discusses plots and themes of most of the short stories in this anthology.
This story was first published in the Australasian, 14 September, 1872, with the title 'Human Repetends'.
