Summary: "If You're Smart—" by Colin Keith is a science fiction novella published in the early 1940s. The story revolves around the conflict between Dr. Claud Kellog, a brilliant inventor, and Wolf Carmichael, a ruthless business tycoon who monopolizes commerce in the Saturn system. The central theme explores the struggle of innovation against corporate greed, highlighting the idea that intelligence alone does not guarantee success or wealth. The plot follows Dr. Kellog as he develops an invention called the "antichron," which has the potential to revolutionize interplanetary communication by warping space-time to achieve instantaneous transmission across distances. However, to bring his invention to market, Kellog finds himself at odds with Carmichael, who seeks to exploit the inventor for his own gain. Faced with financial ruin, Kellog cleverly turns to stock manipulation, using his antichron to predict market fluctuations, ultimately gaining wealth and power. This leads to a fierce confrontation between the two as Kellog dismantles Carmichael's business empire and introduces more equitable services to the Saturnian colonies, positioning himself as a new economic force. The climax reveals the shifting dynamics of power, illustrating how ingenuity can challenge established authority and disrupt the status quo. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
