Kenney is a science fiction narrative originally published in the mid-1950s. The story revolves around telepathic individuals who possess exceptional mental abilities but struggle against societal prejudice and legal restrictions. The book explores themes of fear of the unknown, the societal rejection of those who are "different," and the pursuit of knowledge and understanding. The protagonist and their companion, both endowed with telepathic and extrasensory powers, face challenges as they attempt to educate others about their gifts. Initially, they find success in training students but soon run afoul of a district judge who perceives their abilities as a threat. This judicial confrontation results in their imprisonment and subsequently forces them to live underground to continue their education efforts. As they attempt to evade law enforcement, they experience the toll of their persecution, facing loss and betrayal at every turn. Ultimately, the story culminates in a tragic conclusion that underscores the tragic fate that befalls those who are seen as different in a world governed by fear and ignorance.
