Talents, Incorporated by Murray Leinster
This is a sweet story. I mean, it is like a fairy tale wrapped in a robe of science fiction, especially the last "they live happily hereafter" scene. But well, sometimes magic and science work the same for me as they attempt to realize the wonder, the inconceivable.
Another magic is those talents who perform various incredible tricks. But again, what is the difference between prophets and lunatics? Perhaps the difference lies not only in faith but also in results. And well, our animal brain might in fact perform better than the most advanced computer, it is just that we have not found the way to make the best of it yet.
Nevertheless, if you put aside these complicated questions, you could still enjoy the smooth writing and the little romance of the story.
