- Alpha_Ralpha_Boulevard abstract "\"Alpha Ralpha Boulevard\" is a science fiction story by Cordwainer Smith, set in his Instrumentality of Mankind universe, concerning the opening days of a sudden radical shift from a controlling, benevolent, but sterile society, to one with individuality, danger and excitement. The story has been reprinted a number of times, including in The Rediscovery of Man collection.In an interview about it, Ursula K. Le Guin said, \"To me encountering his works was like a door opening. There is one story of his called 'Alpha Ralpha Boulevard' that was as important to me as reading Pasternak for the first time.\"The story is one of many set in a far future of mankind, with a wealth of history and social detail which remain hinted at or unwritten. Like J. R. R. Tolkien, Smith worked on this universe over years, and other stories were planned at the time of his death. The reader often has an uneasy sense that actual events underlie aspects of Smith's writing.\"Alpha Ralpha Boulevard\" was inspired in part by a painting from his childhood, The Storm by Pierre-Auguste Cot, of two young lovers fleeing along a darkening path. Additionally, the names of the two principal characters, together with the conscious attempt to revive a French culture, recall the 18th century French novel Paul et Virginie. According to his widow and second wife, it was also partly about his first wife's attraction to another man. The name of the story is likely derived from that of Ralph Alpher, who himself was convinced of the connection.The ancient computer in the story is called the Abba-dingo, which may mean \"Father of Lies\". If so, the name is ironic in light of the stunning (to the character Paul) accuracy of its predictions. Another interpretation is \"the French phrase 'l’abbé dingo', or 'mad priest'\".".
