Summary: "The Thing in the Attic" by James Blish is a science fiction novel written in the early 1950s. Set in a fantastical world, the story explores themes of belief, authority, and the human quest for knowledge and understanding. It focuses on the struggles of a group of characters as they navigate the consequences of their actions and beliefs in a society governed by fear of mythical Giants. The plot revolves around Honath the Pursemaker and his fellow captives, who are condemned to a harsh "Hell" for questioning the existence of the Giants, revered figures from their Book of Laws. As they attempt to survive in a perilous underworld filled with threats, they encounter various challenges that test their resolve and beliefs. Honath, initially skeptical of the Giants' existence, ultimately discovers that they are real when he and his friends reach the surface, confronting the implications of their revolutionary ideas about belief and authority. The narrative culminates in a profound realization about the necessity of embracing knowledge and questioning inherited dogma, challenging the characters to lead their people towards a future that integrates both belief and exploration of the world around them.
