"The Troublemakers" by George O. Smith is a science fiction novel written in the early 1960s. The story intertwines themes of genetics, societal conformity, and personal freedom through the exploration of characters struggling with their identities within a regulated societal framework. Central to the narrative are Paul and Mrs. Hanford, who grapple with the rebellious nature of their daughter Gloria, as well as Junior Spaceman Howard Reed, a young officer who seeks to challenge the status quo. The opening of the book introduces a tense family dynamic, where Scholar Norman Ross, a genetics expert, consults with the Hanford family regarding their daughter Gloria's troubling behavior, which he attributes to her genetic lineage. The dialogue reveals Gloria's headstrong personality and her parents' concern over her rebellious attitude, which does not conform to the expectations of their society. In parallel, we meet Howard Reed, who desires to extend humanity's reach into space but faces bureaucratic barriers and personal challenges as he embarks on his quest. This dual plotline sets the stage for a deeper exploration of freedom, autonomy, and the implications of genetic engineering in a regulated world. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
