Summary: "Modus Vivendi" by Walter Bupp is a science fiction story written in the early 1960s. The book explores the complexities of coexistence between individuals with special abilities, known as Psis, and those without, referred to as Normals. The narrative centers around the legal and societal challenges faced by a Psis named Mary Hall, who becomes embroiled in a case of mistaken identity and the political machinations that accompany it. The story follows attorney Pete Maragon as he is drawn into the tumultuous world of Psis while defending Mary Hall against charges of using her powers in a bank scam. The plot thickens as Maragon uncovers the truth about her abilities and learns about the political pressures surrounding her case. With the aid of a telekinetic named Keys Crescas, Maragon must navigate a web of deception involving the judiciary and the Bar Association while striving to ensure justice for Mary. The interplay of powers, ethics, and personal integrity ultimately leads to the formation of a secret organization dedicated to protecting Psis, marking a fragile step toward harmony between the two groups.
