Brigands of the Moon by Ray Cummings - 1920s SCi Fi
http://www.gutenberg.org/files/19066/19066-h/19066-
The novel I have chosen to work on by Sci Fi Author Ray Cummings, The story is written by Cummings as an exercise to explore how a novel which a hundred years in the future would be thought of as a rather bland story with an everyday setting, telling of interactions and technology's which are common place, now putting this story in the hands of an individual from a hundred years in the past. Even the most mundane event like getting breakfast could be seen as using incredible in imaginable technology to a person of the past.
This concept really interested me along with the challenge of capturing the 1920s Sci Fi aesthetic which really fascinates myself.
