Synopsis

The world-mover explores themes of scientific discovery, the unintended consequences of experimentation, and the nature of existence itself. The protagonist, a dedicated scientist, inadvertently causes a nuclear disaster while researching a mysterious new element, propelling him into a strange state where he exists in two alternate realities. Each reality presents its own set of challenges, and he finds himself at the center of a conflict between two factions that believe he holds the power to resolve their struggles. The narrative delves into the complexities of alternate realities, the emotional and psychological toll of being caught between worlds, and the ethical dilemmas of scientific responsibility. As the protagonist grapples with his altered state of existence, he faces pressure from various characters, each with their own interests in his fate and the consequences of the catastrophic experiment. Through this journey, the novel examines the human condition, the interconnectedness of choices, and the potential for technology to shape both individual lives and the broader world in unexpected ways. The story is a compelling exploration of science, morality, and the intricate web of alternate possibilities that stem from one man's fateful experiment.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

George Oliver Smith was an American science fiction author. He was born on April 9, 1911, and died on May 27, 1981. He was also known by the pen name Wesley Long. He is not to be confused with American science fiction writer George H. Smith. During the Golden Age of Science Fiction in the 1940s, Smith wrote for the magazine Astounding Science Fiction. John W. Campbell, Jr., the editor of the magazine, stopped working with him when Campbell's first wife, Doa, left him and married Smith in 1949. Smith kept putting out science fiction books and stories on a regular basis until 1960. During the 1960s and 1970s, when he had a job that needed his full attention, he didn't get as much done. In 1980, he got the first award from the Fandom Hall of Fame. He was a member of the Trap Door Spiders, an all-male literary club. Isaac Asimov's Black Widowers, a fictional group of people who solve crimes, were based on the Trap Door Spiders. Smith mostly wrote about space, like in Operation Interstellar (1950), Lost in Space (1959), and Troubled Star (1957).
