| Summary | "Mezzerow Loves Company" by F. L. Wallace is a science fiction novel published in the mid-20th century, specifically in the 1950s. The narrative explores themes of identity, societal norms, and the complexities of communication, as it follows the protagonist Marcus Mezzerow on a mission to address a bureaucratic error regarding the name of his home planet, which is incorrectly labeled "Messy Row" on Earth. The story delves into the interpersonal dynamics between humans and the role of technology in society. The plot centers on Marcus and his son, Wilbur, who travel to Earth seeking to amend the name of their home planet. They quickly experience the absurdity and complexity of Earth's bureaucracy while encountering a world vastly changed from what Marcus's father had described. They meet various characters, including women who are vastly outnumbered by men, and face humorous and frustrating situations involving robots and officials. Ultimately, Marcus writes an emotional request to change the planet's name to Mezzerow, embodying the struggles and desires of the inhabitants. However, his request leads to an ironic twist, resulting in the planet being renamed "Misery Row," reflecting the challenges of connection and understanding across different worlds.
