DescriptionScience Fiction is known for a variety of classic tropes (time-travel, space operas, alien encounters, robots, etc.). Here is another amusing trope of the genre -- using super science to create the perfect woman! Based on the story "The Woman you wanted" by Robert Silverberg (Future Science Fiction magazine, 1958), here is a classic colorful example by the great EMSH.This piece served as the cover for both Future Science Fiction and Utopia (both from 1958). 14 x 19 Social/Sharing |

Ha! I had to read the story to find out exactly what is going on here -- turns out the guy signed up for an eight year space mission in a small scout ship for two. The only way to psychologically survive is to be paired with the PERFECT mate. The machine is monitoring his response to a plethora of lovely android candidates. The goal is 100% compatibility. The blonde in white is the perfect match (as indicated by the "silhouette beam" created by his subconscious mind). The twist is the blonde is actually a REAL woman who sneaks into the android line-up to prove to the guy (who she knows) that they are a perfect match and should get married!
