Originally serialized in John W. Campbell's Astounding Science Fiction and published in hardcover by Doubleday & Company in 1963, Anything You Can Do. is a classic mid-century speculative thriller written by prolific Golden Age author Randall Garrett under his pseudonym Darrel T. Langart. This fast-paced, psychologically intense work explores the boundaries of transhumanism, biological engineering, and the existential cost of humanity's survival. The plot centers on the arrival of the Nipe, a highly intelligent and technologically sophisticated extraterrestrial creature that crash-lands on Earth. Operating on an alien worldview that treats humans as simple prey, the Nipe goes on a devastating covert rampage. To counter the alien's superior reflexes and nervous system, Earth's leading scientists undergo the radical genetic, surgical, and psychological reconstruction of a human candidate, Bart Stanton, transformed into a biologically enhanced 'superman' at the cost of his baseline human identity. Randall Garrett's work under his various pseudonyms, including Darrel T. Langart, is closely followed by Golden Age completists and collectors of classic alien-contact and transhuman fiction.
