"Baby, You Were Great" is a 1968 science fiction short story by American writer Kate Wilhelm. It was first published in Orbit 2. Damon Knight — Wilhelm's husband — stated that "Baby, You Were Great" was inspired by his 1964 story, "Semper Fi", "with whose point of view Wilhelm disagreed", and that it is "in a sense, the same story [as "Semper Fi", but] with an entirely different plot, setting, and cast of characters."[1]SynopsisIn a world where technology allows the direct recording and replaying of emotional states and subjective physical sensory experiences, a casting director holds auditions to find a woman who will have a suitable reaction to being raped. Reception"Baby, You Were Great" was a finalist for the 1968 Nebula Award for Best Short Story.[2] It has been described as "an indictment of men's exercising technological control over women's bodies",[3] while Strange Horizons emphasizes that the story "does not suffer in quality simply because the technology [for recording and transmitting emotions] it imagined shows no signs of arriving soon."[4] References1. ^[https://books.google.ca/books?id=UVcfAQAAIAAJ&q=%22Baby,+You+Were+Great%22+wilhelm&dq=%22Baby,+You+Were+Great%22+wilhelm&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjdifqJ4M7RAhWQ0YMKHa8JAfsQ6AEIRTAH introduction to "Baby, You Were Great"], by Damon Knight, in "Best stories from Orbit, Volumes 1-10"; published 1975; via Google Books 2. ^Baby, You Were Great at Science Fiction Writers of America; retrieved January 19, 2017 3. ^[https://books.google.ca/books?id=XZWGc3V9lb0C&pg=PA126&lpg=PA126&dq=%22Baby,+You+Were+Great%22+wilhelm+review&source=bl&ots=519kVg4ewa&sig=6gWuATXchsflOpndtFXhQH14HX0&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjsnJad0s7RAhUE6oMKHaycDx0Q6AEIaTAO#v=onepage&q=%22Baby%2C%20You%20Were%20Great%22%20wilhelm%20review&f=false Cold War Masculinity in the Work of Kate Wilhelm], by Josh Lukin, in Daughters of Earth: Feminist Science Fiction in the Twentieth Century; edited by Justine Larbalestier; published May 22, 2006, by Wesleyan University Press; via Google Books 4. ^Future Media, edited by Rick Wilber, reviewed by T.S.
