| 520 | _a"Cue for Quiet" by T. L. Sherred is a science fiction novel likely written in the early to mid-20th century. The story revolves around a man named Pete Miller, who suffers from debilitating headaches and lives a frustrating life filled with incessant noise and turmoil. However, he discovers an unusual power that allows him to influence and even disable mechanical devices, which catapults him into a world of intrigue and danger as various factions seek to harness his abilities. The opening of the book introduces Pete as he navigates his noisy existence, including tensions with his wife, Helen, and interactions with friends at a local bar. Amidst his struggle with a headache, Pete unwittingly begins to realize that his wishes have the power to affect the world around him, notably causing a television to smoke and malfunction. This realization sets him on a path of self-discovery and conflict, eventually leading to his capture by government agents who seek to exploit his newfound abilities. As the narrative unfolds, it raises questions about freedom, power, and the implications of his extraordinary skill in a world rife with technological dependence.
