Your Servant, Sir
by Sol Boren
About the author
Sol Boren was an American writer remembered chiefly for Your Servant, Sir, a science-fiction story first published in If in October 1956. The story has stayed in circulation through later reprints and digital editions, which suggests it kept its appeal long after its original magazine appearance.
Compared with more prolific genre names, Boren seems to have published only a small amount of widely documented work. That relative obscurity gives his writing a certain curiosity value today: readers often encounter him through anthologies, archive projects, or classic-SF rediscoveries rather than through a large standalone bibliography.
Available memorial records identify him as born in 1926 and deceased in 1999. Even with the limited biographical detail that survives publicly, his name remains tied to the era when science fiction was exploring domestic robots, artificial intelligence, and the human side of technology in fresh new ways.
