"We're Off to Mars!" by Carlton Furth is a science fiction novella written in the early 1950s. The story revolves around Joe Linger, an ordinary young man who finds himself entangled in an extraordinary circumstance when he receives a package from a time-traveling delivery service. The book explores themes of probability, decision-making, and the unforeseen consequences of desire as Joe discovers a robot capable of creating any object he wishes, challenging the boundaries of time and reality. The plot follows Joe Linger who, after receiving the robot, begins whimsically crafting everything from simple everyday objects to an impressive spaceship. As Joe experiments with the robot, he grapples with the implications of its power and the potential dangers it poses should it fall into the wrong hands. Alongside him is Barbara, the daughter of a man he consults about the robot. As the narrative unfolds, Joe becomes increasingly aware of the precarious nature of his situation and the responsibilities that come with such incredible capabilities. Ultimately, the story culminates in an adventurous journey to Mars, with themes of exploration, companionship, and the desire for knowledge driving Joe and Barbara forward into the unknown universe.
