The Diamond Lens and Other Strange Tales
Fitz-James OBrien lived only 33 years -- from 1828 till 1862 -- but in his brief life he left a mark that endures today. OBrien endures because he was a remarkable writer. Remarkable indeed He had a way of blending of hard fact with almost-fanciful fantasy juxtaposing technology and mysticism creating convincing and scientific settings that play against the otherworldly romance. For all the weird fancifulness -- these days OBrien is read mostly as a successor to Poe -- his work has qualities we now associate with science fiction OBrien clearly researched the field of microscopy before he wrote _The Diamond Lens_ it reads in places like hard SF.
