    The IMT story unconsciously repeats Clarke's first (or so I think)
    story, "Travel by Wire".

    Clarke's early stories had a tendency to have a twist in the last line,
    and in this one the inventor of wire-based teleportation confesses that
    he would never travel that way.

    Despite being something of a Clarke completist at the time, I didn't
    encounter the story until the 1990s.
