- “The Runaway Skyscraper” by Murray Leinster, in Argosy, 22 February 1919.
A New York skyscraper is so heavy that it settles into the fourth dimension, taking engineer Arthur Chamberlain and his lovely, but stereotypical, secretary, Miss Woodward, (not to mention the rest of the building’s occupants) back to pre-Columbus Manhattan.
—Michael Main
Well, then, have you ever read anything by Wells? The ‘Time Machine,’ for instance?
