Project Gutenberg 2008-12-02 Public domain in the USA. 98 Goble, Neil Goble, Lloyd Neil Master of None Produced from Analog Science Fact and Science Fiction February 1962. Produced by Greg Weeks, Dave Lovelace, Stephen Blundell and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "Master of None" by Neil Goble is a science fiction novella written in the early 1960s. The book explores themes of knowledge, education, and the value of well-rounded individuals in a highly specialized society. It revolves around the idea that true competence may lie in being a "jack of all trades" rather than a master of one. The story centers on Freddy the Fish, a homeless man with a surprisingly vast store of knowledge. When mysterious signals from the moon Ganymede are detected, the government seeks a representative who can navigate diverse fields of knowledge to communicate with the intelligent beings who sent the signals. Despite the overwhelming qualifications required, Freddy unknowingly qualifies for the mission after his friends submit his answers to a test he had filled out casually. As Freddy becomes the unlikely choice to represent Earth in this interstellar communication, the narrative weaves humor and social commentary, ultimately suggesting that wisdom and intellect can come from the most unexpected places.
