Modern Electrics
''Modern Electrics'' was a technical magazine for the amateur radio experimenter. The magazine existed between 1908 and 1914. History and profile ''Modern Electrics'' was created by Hugo Gernsback and began publication in April 1908. The magazine was initially intended to provide mail-order information for radio parts and to promote the amateur radio hobby, but it later became a vehicle for technology-based fiction stories. The first fiction appeared in the April, 1911 issue, and the series of 12 installments by Hugo Gernsback would later be published as the science fiction novel ''Ralph 124C 41+''.

Ralph 124C 41+
''Ralph 124C 41 +'', by Hugo Gernsback, is an early science fiction novel, written as a twelve-part serial in ''Modern Electrics'' magazine, which Gernsback edited, beginning in April 1911. It was compiled into novel/book form in 1925. While it pioneered many ideas found in later science fiction, it has been critically panned for its "inept writing". The title contains a play on words, meaning "One to foresee for one another". In the introduction to the first volume of ''Science-Fiction Plus'', dated March 1953, Gernsback called for patent reform to give science fiction authors the right to create patents for ideas without having patent models because many of their ideas predated the technical progress needed to develop specifications for their ideas. The introduction referenced the numerous prescient technologies described throughout ''Ralph 124C 41+''. Plot summary The eponymous protagonist saves the life of the heroine by directing energy remotely at an approaching avalanche. ...
