Greg Weeks, Mary Meehan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Everybody Knows Joe" by C. M. Kornbluth is a short story written in the early 1950s. This work falls within the genre of science fiction, presenting a satirical and introspective look at the nature of self-awareness and identity. The likely topic of the book revolves around the internal conflict experienced by the protagonist, Joe, as well as his interactions with those around him. In this engaging tale, the story is narrated from the perspective of a character who shares a mind with Joe, a somewhat self-absorbed and oblivious young man. Joe navigates through a day filled with mundane tasks, such as visiting the library to do research and having dinner with his friend Maggie. Throughout the day, the narrator critiques Joe’s pomposity and lack of self-awareness, highlighted by his conversation with Maggie regarding a music record mix-up, which underscores Joe's tendency to inflate his own intellect while remaining blissfully ignorant of his failings. As the story unfolds, it paints a poignant picture of Joe's character—endearing yet frustrating, ultimately leaving readers to reflect on the duality of identity that exists within everyone.
