Produced by Sankar Viswanathan, Greg Weeks, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "All Day Wednesday" by Richard Olin is a science fiction narrative that appears to have been written in the early 1960s. The book explores themes of monotony, existential dread, and societal stagnation as it examines a world where a single day is perpetually repeated, trapping individuals in a cycle of boredom and routine. This thought-provoking story critiques modern life and the impact of technology on human experiences and consciousness. The narrative centers around Ernie, a factory worker who embodies the everyday man, burdened by his mundane existence. As he navigates his daily life filled with work, television, and a sense of ennui, he discovers that his reality is not unique; the entire world is stuck in the same Wednesday, a situation orchestrated by a small group of individuals who can break the cycle. Jory, a member of this group, attempts to awaken Ernie to the truth of their bizarre reality but faces resistance. The story delves into Ernie’s profound realization about his life, ultimately leading him to embrace the never-ending routine rather than fight against it. The narrative acts as a commentary on the human condition, questioning the essence of existence within a stagnated society.
