"Enter a Soldier. Later: Enter Another" is a 1989 science fiction story by Robert Silverberg. It was first published in Asimov's Science Fiction.

Synopsis

When AI researchers attempt to replicate the minds of historical figures, their first success is Francisco Pizarro... who they then introduce to their second success, Socrates.

Reception

"Enter a Soldier. Later: Enter Another" won the 1990 Hugo Award for Best Novelette,^[1] and was a finalist for the Nebula Award for Best Novelette in 1990.^[2]

The Spanish translation won the 2001 Premio Ignotus for Best Foreign Short Story.^[3]

Steven H Silver noted that the story has "little action", but nonetheless raises questions about the philosophical issues discussed not only by Pizarro and Socrates, but also by the researchers.^[4]

"Enter a Soldier. Later: Enter Another" served as the basis for Time Gate, an anthology of stories by other authors using Silverberg's setting.^[4]
