DUFF, Charles (St Lawrence)
- DUFF, Charles (St Lawrence)
(1894-1966)
Irish translator and writer whose sf play, Mind Products Limited: A Melodrama of the Future in Three Acts and an Epilogue (1932 Netherlands), though breezily deprecatory of the 1960 world it depicts, introduces an inventive range of extrapolatory material, including mind control (and X-ray vision) through drugs, carplanes and tv phones, all contributing to a CAPEK-like vision of totalitarianism in a world gone mad.
