Contagion by Katherine MacLean

I really enjoyed this story although it took a bit for it to get going and I won’t comment on the worldbuilding which reflects the ideas of the time. Instead, I’ll compare it to Philip K. Dick’s “Colony” in how it develops a situation into something creepy and uncanny, without all the death in MacLean’s case. I’ve read a number of stories by MacLean in the last couple of years and think it’s unfortunate how she’s been forgotten by most in the field, as her stories are easily some of the more thought-provoking ones from that time period.

this story is inclued in a book (ARC that i got through bookSirens) that i am currently reading "women of the pulps", and i must say, its the first story in the book and it's quite good, got me a feeling of twillight zone, mixed with a star trek episode, very nice.
