Arthur Porges [pórdžIs] (August 20, 1915, Chicago, Illinois–May 12, 2006) was a pulp magazine author of numerous short stories, most notably in the 1950s and 1960s.
Perhaps his best-known story is "The Ruum", in which a human is chased by an indestructible alien machine designed to capture specimens and keep them in suspended animation. Porges wrote in several genres, including science fiction and mystery.
His collection The Mirror and Other Strange Reflections (ISBN 1-55310-044-1) was published in 2002 by Ash-Tree Press.
[edit] Adaptations
The 7th episode, filmed in 1982, of the Soviet science fiction TV series This Fantastic World was based on one of the finest science fiction stories by Porges, the "Priceless Possession" and Oleg Lukyanov's story "Uncertainty Principle"[1]
