The Point of View

Step into a mind-bending exploration of perception and reality in The Point of View by Stanley G. Weinbaum. This witty and thought-provoking sci-fi short story features the eccentric Professor van Manderpootz and his latest invention—the "attitudinizor," a device that lets users experience the world through another's eyes. When Dixon Wells tries it out, he discovers how dramatically different—and emotionally complex—another person’s perspective can be. Blending humor, romantic confusion, and philosophical insight, Weinbaum delivers a timeless tale about the subjectivity of beauty, love, and the human experience.
