Synopsis:

The Man Who Evolved follows three colleagues, Dr. John Pollard, Hugh Dutton, and Arthur Wright (from whose perspective the story is told) and what happens when Dr. Pollard tries to force himself to evolve by means of a concentration of cosmic rays.

The Jameson Satellite follows Professor Jameson, a scientist who, upon death, preserves his body in suspended animation and has his nephew send it on a rocket into orbit around the Earth, using small propulsion engines set up to automatically avoid asteroids, forever circling the Earth. (It sounds boring, but it gets more interesting.)
