Produced by Greg Weeks, Stephen Blundell and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Security" by Poul Anderson is a science fiction novel written in the early 1950s. The book is set in a future where an authoritarian regime prioritizes security over individual freedoms, exploring themes of loyalty, subversion, and the ethical implications of technological advancement. The narrative revolves around the life of Allen Lancaster, a physicist entangled in a world governed by draconian security measures and dangerous secrets. The story follows Allen Lancaster as he unwittingly becomes embroiled in a covert government project while working within a tightly controlled society. After being contacted by a Security agent named Berg, he is drawn into a top-secret space project aimed at developing a revolutionary dielectric material, which could shift the balance of power away from the government if it fell into rebel hands. As he navigates through scientific discoveries, ethical dilemmas, and the shadowy depths of state control, Lancaster faces life-altering choices regarding loyalty and freedom. Ultimately, he finds himself questioning the nature of the authority he once served, leading to a dramatic confrontation with his own beliefs about security and liberty in the face of oppression.
