I did enjoy this! It’s really interesting to read a sci-fi story that was written so long ago. Just goes to show that we’ve always been interested in the “unknowns” or “what ifs”
The swapping of bodies reminds me vaguely of the curse the witch of the waste puts on Sophie in Howl’s Moving Castle! Or Freaky Friday.
