Title:
Body:
As soon as I heard the basic premise of Avatar, I <a href="http://hwmlsdssm.com">imdeimately</a> thought of Poul Anderson's 1957 story Call Me Joe. The story concept parallels are so obvious: a paraplegic who uniquely operates an extremely expensive remote slate-blue body (with a tail) on an alien world [Jupiter in CMJ], finds a comforting symbiosis with the alien world, and eventually abandons his original body for the remote one. I recently reread Call Me Joe from my paperback copy of the 1963 anthology Spectrum 3, and recalled in turn Clifford Simak's superb 1952 story, Desertion, which I had in my paperback copy of the 1959 anthology, Off the Beaten Orbit.Call Me Joe is more related than parallel to Desertion, in which Kent Fowler and his dog Towser are transformed into native Jovian beings to explore Jupiter and attempt to discover what happened to the previous four transformed men who had been sent down to explore, but never returned.
