Summary "Second Sight" by Basil Wells is a science fiction novel written during the mid-20th century, likely in the 1950s. The story delves into themes of identity, human connection, and the consequences of technology, focusing on the life of the protagonist, Merle Duggan, as he struggles to regain his sight and independence after years of blindness. In "Second Sight," Merle Duggan, trapped in an unfulfilling life run by his domineering wife, comes into a small fortune that enables him to rent an advanced mechanical body, or super mech, to temporarily regain his sight. As he navigates the beautiful but overwhelming world above the lower levels of Appalachia City, Duggan is confronted by the harsh realities of his past, including his strained relationship with his wife, Janith. The story intensifies when Duggan becomes embroiled in a robbery while operating the mech, leading to a confrontation with the criminals and a revelation about his wife’s love and sacrifices. In the end, he recognizes that his quest for independence comes with the need for self-reflection and reconciliation, culminating in a touching reunion with Janith in the hospital, where he finally acknowledges the depth of their bond.
