"Sam, This Is You" by Murray Leinster is a science fiction novella written in the mid-20th century. The story centers around a telephone lineman named Sam Yoder, who unexpectedly discovers a way to communicate with his future self through a malfunctioning phone line. This intriguing twist leads Sam on a journey that merges time travel with elements of comedy and romance as he grapples with the unforeseen consequences of his actions and the secrets that are unveiled along the way. The narrative unfolds as Sam receives a call from himself from the future, which presents both opportunities and challenges. Initially excited by the potential for fortune-making knowledge relayed to him by his future self, Sam's plans soon unravel when he realizes the implications of having his private life exposed and the difficulty of maintaining a romantic relationship with Rosie, his fiancée. As the story progresses, Sam's future self becomes embroiled in a bank robbery plot—an alarming revelation that puts Sam in a moral quandary. With Rosie's help, he confronts the issue, ultimately leading to unexpected heroes and comedic turns as they navigate a path filled with personal and ethical dilemmas. The story combines light-hearted humor with introspective moments, exploring themes of fate, identity, and love. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
