Summary: "Political Application" by John Victor Peterson is a science fiction story published in the mid-20th century, specifically in the 1950s. The narrative combines humor and political satire, revolving around the notion of scientific advancements, particularly the concept of matter transference. The book explores the intersection of science and politics, particularly how scientific breakthroughs can impact political landscapes. The story follows Monk, a bodyguard to the physicist Allan Benson, who is on the brink of a revolutionary fuel discovery that could propel a torchship to Mars. When Benson goes missing while creating a political spectacle against anti-science sentiments led by Mayor Cadigan, Monk embarks on a wild chase to locate him. The tale unfolds with comedic twists, including the appearance of a Neanderthal replica and a police helicopter materializing in unexpected places. Ultimately, Benson's clever plans not only ensure his political message is delivered but also deliver a whimsical reminder of the importance of keeping science free from political interference. The narrative combines levity and commentary on the relationship between innovative science and governmental authority. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
