| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "Wanted: One Sane Man" by Frank M. Robinson is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The story unfolds in a future where the demand for personnel is managed by a centralized agency, Personnel Incorporated, which claims it can provide the right person for any job. The book explores themes of sanity, human capability, and the psychological complexities involved in space travel, focusing on the search for a qualified pilot for the first lunar mission. The narrative centers around two main characters, George Burger, a director at Atlantic Motors, and Frank Maxwell, a government representative. They visit Personnel Incorporated to find a suitable pilot for their ambitious rocket project, but soon realize the task is more complicated than anticipated. Whiteford, the head of Personnel, prides himself on the corporation's efficiency, yet when he attempts to find a psychologically stable pilot for the mission, he discovers that the majority of applicants are mentally unfit. As the story unfolds, Whiteford becomes the pilot himself, grappling with isolation, mental strain, and the question of what truly qualifies a person to undertake such a dangerous journey. Ultimately, it’s revealed that a degree of neurosis and obsession—traits Whiteford exhibits—might be essential for the type of person willing to brave the unknown of space. The novel cleverly critiques the metrics by which society judges capability and success. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
