Who Goes There? - Definition and Overview |
|
|
Who Goes There? is an ironic science fiction novelette by John W. Campbell, Jr. under the pen name Don A. Stuart, published August 1938 in Astounding Stories.
The story follows a group of Antarctic researchers, isolated from the rest of their world, who discover an alien spaceship. They also discover an occupant of the spaceship, a malevolent being that can assume the shape and memories of any living thing. The rest of the story follows their attempts to determine which of their members have been replaced and to destroy the beings before they can reach the rest of the world.
Who Goes There? has been twice adapted as a motion picture: rather loosely in 1951 as The Thing From Another World; and more faithfully in 1982 by director John Carpenter as the film The Thing, from the Bill Lancaster screenplay.
