About the author
Very little biographical information about W. T. Haggert appears to be widely documented online. Reliable catalog and library-style sources do confirm that he was active as a science fiction author in the late 1950s, and LibriVox identifies him as a writer from that period.
His best-known work is Lex, a science fiction story first published in Galaxy in 1959 and later made available through Project Gutenberg. Bibliographic databases also list other work under his name, including We, Robots, which suggests a continuing interest in classic robot-centered speculative fiction.
Because so little personal history is easily confirmed, W. T. Haggert is best approached through the stories themselves: compact, thoughtful science fiction from the magazine era, written at a time when writers were exploring how machines, rules, and human behavior might collide.
