| 520 | _a"The Drivers" by Edward W. Ludwig is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The book explores a futuristic society where adrenaline-seeking youths earn a driver's license to operate high-speed jetmobiles known as "Driving." This world grapples with themes of fear, maturity, and societal pressures, providing a commentary on the human psyche and the innate desire for challenge and risk. The story follows Tom Rogers, a young man approaching his twenty-first birthday, as he navigates the exhilarating yet terrifying world of Driving. Haunted by the traumatic memories of family deaths related to jetmobile crashes, Tom is initially filled with dread about obtaining his driver's license. However, after passing the grueling psychological tests, he is reluctantly thrust into the ranks of Drivers. His journey delves into the nature of courage and societal expectations, culminating in a harrowing first day behind the wheel where he confronts both external dangers from other Drivers and his internal fears. Ultimately, he discovers a sense of belonging and acceptance in a community built around speed, risk, and the need for challenge. (This is an automatically generated summary.) | ||
