Set in a dystopian future, the story explores the theme of psychological conditioning and its implications for society. The narrative revolves around the interactions between humans and a psychological device used to manipulate behavior, ultimately questioning the nature of freedom and individuality in a regulated world. The plot follows Clark Stevens, a man undergoing a radical procedure with the Psychological Regulator, which aims to rehabilitate his psychotic tendencies. After the treatment, he becomes empowered and aggressive, taking on a warrior-like persona reminiscent of a Viking, which leads him to seize a plane and take Nurse Markett Travenor hostage. As he grapples with his newfound identity, tensions escalate between Stevens and a growing faction led by Dr. Alfreed, who represents the established order. The story unfolds with a confrontation between the repressed citizens of the city and the newly assertive Stevens and his followers, culminating in a battle for freedom and control over the future. Ultimately, the novel examines the consequences of psychological manipulation and the complexity of human nature. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading ease score: 83.9 (6th grade).
