I, of Newton is truly a classic piece of Science Fiction / Fantasy. I’ve shared it every so often on my social media feeds…
It only just occurred to me that I could have just shared it on substack.
Premise: Through an equation, a math professor accidentally summons a demon. Now, he must outwit the Devil, or face damnation.
Originally based off of a short story by Joe Haldeman, this is a sliver of an episode of The New Twilight Zone (Which sometimes put in two short stories per episode).
Stars Ron Glass (Firefly) and Sherman Hemsley (The Jacksons). And I must admit, you could play this just to listen to Ron Glass reading from the script in such a smooth, easy voice.
It was one of two episodes my father remembered from the entire series run. (The other featured Richard Kiley as Lancelot, and I believe Jenny Agutter as Morgana).
