Wainer by Michael Shaara

In a future that prizes engineered clarity and measurable usefulness, one man lives with a body and mind that refuse to fit. When the reason for his difference finally becomes clear, a single choice determines whether his life was wasted—or perfectly timed. Wainer by Michael Shaara. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Special thanks to our listeners in Ireland. Your support has been nothing short of extraordinary. We’ve spent more time at #1 on the Apple Podcasts science fiction charts in Ireland than in any other country. Thank you.

Today’s story can be found on page 105 of Galaxy Science Fiction in April 1954, Wainer by Michael Shaara…

Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A wandering old man keeps selling something no one believes can still exist, and two children decide it’s time to demand proof. What follows forces a choice between safety and a single moment that can never be taken back. Seller of the Sky by Dave Dryfoos.
