Nolan, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode.When I recorded Small World at the request of Mike Jones, thanks Mike, I had no idea that the author, William F. Nolan wrote the book, with George Clayton Johnson, that led to one of my favorite sci-fi movies, Logan’s Run. The 1976 movie featured Michael York, Jenny Agutter, Farrah Fawcett and Peter Ustinov. I enjoy going to movie locations and when I discovered that the scene where Logan and Jessica discover an old man played by Peter Ustinov, the first elderly person either of them has ever seen, was filmed at the Fort Worth Water Gardens, I had to go see it for myself.So, if it hadn’t been for you Mike Jones, requesting the short sci-fi story Small World, I would never have known that William F. Nolan also wrote Logan’s Run. Long before Logan, Nolan began writing short fiction stories in 1952 and he would continue to write into his 90s!He is credited with more than 180 short stories, today’s story, Small World is the 8th such story written by Nolan.
