'Five Stories by Alan Nourse' Summary
The five stories in this collection offer glimpses into a future where psionic abilities are both a marvel and a source of conflict. In "The Healer", a talented psionic doctor struggles to find his place in a world where his abilities are both revered and feared. "The Man Who Could Fly" presents a world where the ability to fly has become commonplace, but carries with it the potential for both good and evil. "The Mind-Game" explores the dangers of mind control and the ethical dilemmas it presents. "The Other Side of the Mirror" delves into the nature of consciousness and the potential for human telepathy to bridge the gap between individuals. And "The Last Man on Earth" offers a haunting tale of survival and the importance of human connection in a desolate future. Through these stories, Nourse explores the transformative power of psionics, the ethical complexities it raises, and the enduring nature of the human spirit in the face of uncertainty.Book Details
