Ralph 124C 41+
A Romance of the Year 2660
Ralph 124C 41+—A Romance of the Year 2660 introduces readers to a visionary future shaped by science and invention. Written by Hugo Gernsback, the novel imagines a world of advanced technology, daring exploration, and human ingenuity, offering one of the earliest glimpses into what would later become known as science fiction.
Description
Gernsback’s story follows Ralph 124C 41+, a brilliant scientist whose name is a playful pun on “one to foresee for one.” Set in the year 2660, the novel brings readers into a world of futuristic marvels—radios that transmit images, space travel, weather control, and energy harnessed in ways far ahead of its time. Through Ralph’s inventions and adventures, Gernsback paints a bold portrait of what human progress might achieve.
At its core, the story is also a romance, as Ralph rescues and falls in love with a woman named Alice. Their relationship unfolds against a backdrop of technological wonder and peril, blending science, imagination, and human emotion. While the writing reflects its early-20th-century origins, the novel remains a cornerstone of speculative fiction and a blueprint for the genre Gernsback himself helped define.
