ALMOST HUMAN
THE PSEUDO-PEOPLE 
edited by William F Nolan

From the finest minds in science fiction - an exciting, off-beat collection of stories, brimming with action, crackling with ingenuity, packed with surprises.
Frightening extensions of our computer age, robots cast in the exact form of men and women, designed as perfect thinking machines.
Using this compelling central theme, THE PSEUDO-PEOPLE ranges through suspense, violence, shock, horror, wild satire and sudden death; through the future worlds of show business, espionage, boxing, crime and politics; in the company of the most challenging, most provocative concept of Science Fiction - the Android. In the company, too, of Sci-Fi's Top Writers: Bradbury, Kuttner, Asimov and a host of others.

THE ANDROIDS by Frank Belknap Long

INVADERS FROM TIME

BOBBY JACKSON: It was a frightening discovery. The man and woman living in the Jonathan Oakham mansion weren't human. Don't ask me what made me so sure. There are some things you can't explain, can't analyze.

CHARLES BELLAMY: The glow appeared so suddenly on the opposite wall that I thought the wind had blown the shade aside. But sunlight cannot cause the solid walls of a room to dissolve and a dark shadow to emerge from the glow, assuming as it advances a human shape... the face of a woman with burning eyes.
