Produced by Robert Cicconetti, Irma Spehar and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "The Six Fingers of Time" by R. A. Lafferty is a science fiction novel written during the early 1960s. The story centers on a man named Charles Vincent, who experiences a peculiar phenomenon where time appears to have slowed down drastically, affecting the world around him. As he navigates this bizarre situation, he explores the implications of time manipulation on his life and the broader world. The plot unfolds as Charles Vincent wakes up to a morning where everything operates at an unusually slow pace: clocks do not function correctly, water moves like syrup, and people seem to be frozen in motion. His investigation into this phenomenon leads him to discover the thrill of controlling time and exploiting its manipulation for both personal gain and knowledge accumulation. As he learns to master the accelerated state and embraces its advantages—reading countless books and enriching his knowledge—Vincent faces moral dilemmas and existential threats from mysterious, faceless entities linked to the ancient concept of extradigitalism. Ultimately, the story explores the duality of human ambition and the perilous nature of tampering with time, culminating in a powerful reckoning that leaves Vincent's fate uncertain.
