A Tor "Double Novel", including Isaac Asimov's "The Ugly Little Boy" and Theodore Sturgeon's "The [Widget], the [Wadget], and Boff". Both are pure gems of science fiction created at the hands of masters. "The Ugly Little Boy" is the story of a science experiment that overlooks what it means to be human. It develops in Asimov's usual sparse, straightforward style, and then delivers a climax that punches you right in the heart. "The [Widges], the [Wadget], and Boff" is a whimsical tale of a science experiment that looks in the other direction -- it's the aliens who are studying us -- and with such elegance and subtlety that most of the subjects don't even realize it's going on.
