From telegraph to telephone to radio was but a step each, and this romance imagines the next: sending living beings themselves through space, transmitted and received across the miles.

Benjamin Witwer's 1927 story spins an early hard-SF and social-SF romance from the dream of teleportation by radio. Inventive, earnest, of its era. Read it for a Gernsback-age tale that weaves a love story around the wondrous, dangerous idea of broadcasting a human being through the ether.
