Summary | "The Mind Digger" by Winston K. Marks is a science fiction novel written in the late 1950s. The story delves into the fascinating yet unsettling realm of memory and its implications for creativity and personal experience. It explores the journey of a young playwright, Hillary Hardy, who seeks to achieve total recall of his memories through experimental therapy, ultimately leading to profound and harrowing consequences. The narrative follows the rise of Hillary Hardy, a gifted but unconventional young playwright who sells his first play, "Updraft," to the producer George Crocker. As his fame grows and he becomes a prolific writer, Hardy engrosses himself in memory enhancement experiments, aiming to achieve total recall back to his conception. While these endeavors initially prove to be a source of artistic inspiration, they also lead him to relive all his past traumas and pains with intense emotional clarity. As a result, the creative outlet he once thrived upon transforms into a torturous experience, ultimately leaving him in a state of mental collapse. The climax of the story illustrates the dangers of blurring the lines between memory and reality, as well as the psychological toll of seeking to harness the mind's full potential.
