1 – The Variable Man (Chapters 1 – 2) 

Predictability has come a long way. The computers of the future can tell you if you’re going to win a war before you fire a shot. Unfortunately they’re predicting perpetual standoff between the Terran and Centaurian Empires. What they need is something unpredictable, what they get is Thomas Cole, a man from the past accidentally dragged forward in time. Will he fit their calculations, or is he the random variable that can break the stalemate? – The Variable Man first appeared in the September, 1953 issue of Space Science Fiction magazine. (Summary by Gregg Margarite)

It&#39;s a superb story, with a relatively simple juxtaposition utilized to great effect. A man from the past, a man who uses his hands to fix things transported to a  world where science and data reign supreme and where specialization has rendered men like Thomas Cole obsolete. Until now that is, but will Cole&#39;s presence save or doom the people of Earth? Read and find out!
