The chapter 'Preamble' outlines the launch and purpose of the SF Gateway by Gollancz, initiated in 2011 to celebrate fifty years of continuous science fiction and fantasy publishing. It emphasizes the transition from traditional print to digital publishing, aiming to make vast backlists of classic and modern SF and fantasy works widely accessible. The initiative also includes returning selected digital titles to print in omnibus editions, thus bridging past and future publishing methods.

The 'Preamble' chapter of 'The New Adam' by Stanley G. Weinbaum serves as an introductory section providing publication and copyright information rather than narrative content. It outlines the eBook's origin, copyright status, and distribution permissions under Project Gutenberg Australia. No plot or thematic exposition is presented in this chapter.
