I read a long time ago a short story called "Wondercopy". Does anybody know where I can get it? I'd like to re-read it, now in this clonning days.
Thank you.

In my enfeebled old age, I don't recognize this. Sorry.

To my knowledge Ray has never written about cloning, and his only public comment indicated "he was agin it," but I can post it in the same places as the others.

The term, Wondercopy...must be around, because someone in grade school named Sarah....wrote a little story about it...

These replies came by way of the Booksleuth Forums at Abebooks.

As you say, no Bradbury reader recognises it,� I don't remember it , yet it is listed as rec. reading on When You Choose� a site for Argentine English Second Language study - and attributed there to Bradbury. Weird or what??� I think this is a job for� OCTOBERCOUNTRY !!!

Googled on "Wondercopy" and found it mentioned on a Dutch language <>website.� The book it's from is a beginning English reader called Me, Myself and I : Seven Science Fiction Stories by Lewis Jones, London: Longman, 1975, ISBN 0582538440 .� According to the website, the story is by Bradbury.� Unfortunately, it looks like none are in stock now here at abe or anywhere else that I've been able to find.

Okay, since the person who requested this it seems may be using English as a second language, it's possible a story of Bradbury's was translated into another language and given this title. I have two problems with this. For one, I remember a lot of Bradbury stories about robots in human form and a few of aliens taking on human shape, but none about cloning. In "Marionettes, Inc.," robots are made to resemble a specific person, as in another story, "Punishment Without Crime." They are the only two of his I can think of offhand for which this title would be appropriate. For another question, if the story was published in a foreign language, why is the title in English?

Oh, I just found it. Sure enough, it is a retitling of "Marionettes, Inc."
