Waldo (short Story)
"Waldo" (1942) is a short story by American writer Robert A. Heinlein, originally published in ''Astounding Magazine'' in August 1942 under the pseudonym Anson MacDonald. It is available in the 1950 book ''Waldo & Magic, Inc.'' (as well as other collections). Both stories in that collection involve magic but are otherwise unrelated. The essence of the story is the journey of a mechanical genius from his self-imposed exile from the rest of humanity to a more normal life, conquering the disease myasthenia gravis as well as his own contempt for humans in general. The key to this is that magic is loose in the world, but in a logical and scientific way. Waldo Farthingwaite-Jones was born a weakling, unable even to lift his head up to drink or to hold a spoon. Far from destroying him, this channeled his intellect, and his family's money, into the development of the device patented as "Waldo F. Jones' Synchronous Reduplicating Pantograph". Wearing a glove and harness, Waldo could co ...
