I remember a short story (perhaps from the 1950's?) about two men on death row—one a simple thug (who I will call Murphy) and the other a genius/scientist. Both are guilty, the one of a lifetime of thuggishness, the scientist of a cunning murder, that was not quite cunning enough. The scientist ...

In Larry Niven's Ringworld stories, the Puppeteers have a reputation for cowardice and design things for absolute safety. One of them says that the reason for that is an experiment that led them to conclude that Puppeteers have no immortal soul. Is this ever discussed beyond the brief statement...

I don't remember a ton about this show, but I remember seeing a few episodes as a kid very vividly. It has confounded me for years trying to track it down. Details I remember: The premise is a team of heroes (do not believe they were super-powered) is fighting a supervillian doctor/scientist who...

I read a novel where people after taking a drug, had a separate left and right brain. It took place in the US, southern states, where society was somewhat dysfunctional, and religion had gained too much influence in politics. Any one recall this? I thought it was by Bruce Sterling, or Stephen Bur...

It was the scariest movie I have ever seen. It was back in the late 60's or very early 70's. It was an experiment where they were trying to capture a man's soul as he died and return it to his body. All of a sudden there is a loud screeching noise and then this opaque purple thing is floating ove...

Story probably from the 1980s. Set on either a US Navy nuclear powered Cruiser, or Nuclear powered Sub. (I'm pretty sure it was not a nuclear Carrier) I believe the story was written by someone who had served in the US Navy. The MC, pretty sure he was enlisted, (A petty officer or chief) builds a...

I'm trying to recall a short story, possibly by Ben Bova or Greg Bear or Fred Pohl, about a wealthy man diagnosed with incurable cancer who chooses to have himself cryogenically frozen in hopes of a future cure. Concerned about the fate of his assets during his absence, he entrusts them to his br...

The story, as best I remember, is that an alien species (robotic) visits Earth. They discover a box in orbit around Earth with a human and revive him into a robot. He wants to visit Earth, which they oblige him but finding nothing alive they fly off and he goes with them. It was supposed to be a ...

All I remember about the story is that Earth is going to be destroyed in some about amount of time because human music is the best in the galaxy which owes Earth so much money that it is easier to destroy the planet than pay us off. I remember that the resolution involves putting something into ...

Milo Murphy does a lot with the character of Dr. Doofenshmirtz, basically turning him into an anti-hero. Have they talked about if this will be canon in the new episode coming in a few months or do we have to wait and see?

I'm looking for a short sci-fi story I read a long time ago. In the story, all technology was really magic in disguise. After the witch trials, magic was rebranded as technology. All phones and lights, etc, run because of magic.
