"The Scientists Revolt" qualifies as a publishing curiosity. A collaboration between author Edgar Rice Burroughs (famous for Tarzan and the Martian novels, among others) and Ray Palmer (*editor of numerous pulp magazines), it is a slam-bang pulp action story set in the 23rd Century, where the struggle of the intelligentsia against the proletariat has played out to rather silly results. Complete with 1920s-style archetypes (including hardboiled Irish cops), sci-fi trappings like matter transmitters, and the obligatory romance between classes, it's a truly unique product of the pulps.

Autorenporträt
The creator of the immortal characters Tarzan of the Apes and John Carter of Mars, Edgar Rice Burroughs is one of the world's most popular authors. His timeless tales of heroes and heroines transport readers from the jungles of Africa and the dead sea bottoms of Barsoom to the miles-high forests of Amtor and the savage inner world of Pellucidar, and even to alien civilizations beyond the farthest star. Mr. Burroughs' books are estimated to have sold hundreds of millions of copies, and they have spawned 60 films and 250 television episodes.
