Jay Franklin ~5 hr read

When an atomic explosion destroys a battleship, a man's mind is flung into a strange new existence, and the ordinary rat race of modern life takes on a wholly unexpected and cosmic dimension.

Jay Franklin's 1947 novel is a lively psi-powers and social-SF fantasy. Inventive, satirical, engaging. Read it for a genial and imaginative tale of consciousness, identity, and second chances, where a violent death opens onto a witty exploration of what really drives the human rat race.
