Kornbluth is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The book explores themes of decay and societal decline on Halsey’s Planet, focusing on protagonist Ross as he contemplates his stagnant life in a decaying civilization. As Ross grapples with societal issues and his own dissatisfaction, he encounters a long-awaited interstellar ship that carries messages about humanity's past and future. At the start of the novel, Ross observes the decline of his surroundings, particularly the abandoned Ghost Town, which serves as a metaphor for larger societal decay. He works at the Oldham Trading Corporation but feels unfulfilled and restless, particularly after a morning filled with existential thoughts. His lunch chat with fellow trader Marconi leads to a revelation about his desire for change, culminating in the arrival of an interstellar ship with strange visitors who have urgent business with a fellow trader. This set of exchanges frames the narrative, hinting at deeper mysteries ahead concerning communication, exploration, and the consequences of humanity's past actions.
