Gene L. Henderson

Gene L. Henderson is a little-known science fiction author associated most clearly with All In The Mind, a novella available through Project Gutenberg. The story first appeared in the early 1950s and centers on identity, memory, and what happens when a mind outlives its original body.

Very little widely documented biographical information appears to be available online, so most attention has stayed on the work itself rather than on the author’s life. That relative obscurity gives Henderson an interesting place in classic SF: a writer known less for a long public career than for one memorable speculative idea.

For listeners who enjoy vintage science fiction, Henderson’s work offers the brisk pacing of pulp-era storytelling along with questions about personhood and consciousness that still resonate today.
