Stranger in Paradise (short story)
"Stranger in Paradise" is a science fiction short story by American writer Isaac Asimov.It was also rejected by Ben Bova for Analog Science Fiction and Fact before being accepted for If magazine, where it appeared in the May–June 1974 issue.[1] Anthony Smith and William Anti-Aut are full brothers who live in a "Post-Catastrophe" world where, due to concerns about humanity's limited genetic diversity, siblings who share both parents are rare (and identical twins are nonexistent).William pursues a career in genetic engineering, referred to as homology, and has been trying to understand and cure autism, hence his chosen surname.However, the speed of light communications lag between Earth and Mercury can last up to twenty-two minutes, making computer control difficult.
