Editor's review

All In The Mind is a short science fiction work by Gene L. Henderson, prepared as a free ebook by Project Gutenberg. From the available information, it belongs to fantasy/science fiction narrative under the category of American literature; it is not long and serves as light reading for getting a sense of mid-twentieth-century English-language short science fiction. The Project Gutenberg edition is convenient to read on electronic devices and also suitable as English-language reading material. Because the information provides only attribution and publication details and does not cover the specific plot, readers may treat it as an exploratory read in short science fiction: short, easy to enter, suitable for finishing in fragmented time, and useful as a starting point for discussing science fiction themes. Its overall value lies in low-cost access to a public-domain science fiction text rather than in providing research-level depth.

Reading tips

First read the English text straight through without looking up words, grasping the overall direction of the plot.
On the second pass, mark unfamiliar words and expressions, then look them up together.
After finishing, retell the story in three to five sentences to check comprehension.
Read it alongside other Project Gutenberg science fiction shorts to get a feel for the style of the period.

About the author

Henderson, Gene L. Author

Gene L. Henderson is an author about whom little public information is currently available; details such as nationality, dates of birth and death, and educational background have not been reliably documented in public sources. Only one work by this author is held in our collection, All In The Mind. Judging from the title, the book is likely to deal with themes of the mind, consciousness, or psychological experience, and to have a speculative or reflective bent. Because further material is lacking, it is not possible to describe the full range of the author's writing style, nor to assess what influence the work may have had after publication. For an author with so little information available, readers can only approach the work itself in order to grasp the questions it raises and the way they are expressed. This entry is based on the facts currently available in our collection, and more information about the author awaits further public documentation and verification.
