IN THIS EPISODE: “The Snowball Effect” by Katherine MacLean first appeared in the September 1952 issue of Galaxy Science Fiction. What if we had a mathematically formula that could explain how an organization could grow at an exponential rate? A Ponzi scheme is designed by a sociologist, and has two professors test it on a women’s sewing club. Things get a bit out of hand in a short time!
