Wonder Stories
Lasser was one of the founders of the American Rocket Society which, under its initial name of the "Interplanetary Society", announced its existence in the pages of the June 1930 "Wonder Stories". Several of "Wonder"'s writers were also members of the Interplanetary Society, and perhaps as a consequence of the relationship "Wonder Stories Quarterly" began to focus increasingly on fiction with interplanetary settings. A survey of the last eight issues of "Wonder Stories Quarterly" by Bleiler found almost two-thirds of the stories were interplanetary adventures, while only a third of the stories in the corresponding issues of "Wonder Stories" could be so described. "Wonder Stories Quarterly" added a banner reading "Interplanetary Number" to the cover of the Winter 1931 issue, and retained it, as "Interplanetary Stories", for subsequent issues. Lasser and Gernsback were also briefly involved with the fledgling Technocracy movement. Gernsback published two issues of "Technocracy Review", which Lasser edited, commissioning stories based on technocratic ideas from Nat Schachner. These appeared in "Wonder Stories" during 1933, culminating in a novel, "The Revolt of the Scientists".
