Summary "Status Quo" by Mack Reynolds is a science fiction novel written in the early 1960s. The story follows Lawrence Woolford, a government employee in Greater Washington, who becomes embroiled in a conspiracy involving counterfeit money and a mysterious organization known as "the Movement." As Woolford navigates the pressures of societal expectations and bureaucratic intricacies, he uncovers deeper implications regarding this underground group advocating for change in the social status quo. The opening of "Status Quo" introduces us to Lawrence Woolford, who is reluctantly pulled from his vacation by his superior to investigate a peculiar case of counterfeit fifty-dollar bills. The bills appear so expertly reproduced that even the Secret Service is bewildered. Woolford is drawn into a world of bureaucracy and espionage when he is introduced to a young suspect, Susan Self, who claims that her father is involved in this underground Movement. As the narrative unfolds, the tension builds around the Movement's potential implications for society, leading Woolford to question not only the motivations behind the counterfeiting but also the very framework of social order and personal identity. The early chapters set the stage for a complex web of intrigue, exploring themes of conformity, rebellion, and the nature of authority. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
