- “Homefaring” by Robert Silverberg (Phantasia Press, July 1983).
A grand experiment takes McCulloch into the mind and body of an intelligent creature—an intelligent giant lobster—of the far future.
“It is not painful to have a McCulloch within one,” his host was explaining. “It came upon me at molting time, and that gave me a moment of difficulty, molting being what it is. But it was only a moment. After that my only concern was for the McCulloch’s comfort.”
