Produced by Greg Weeks, Mary Meehan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "The Brain" by Alexander Blade is a science fiction novel written in the late 1940s. The narrative follows Dr. Semper Lee, a flight engineer and entomologist who is unexpectedly summoned to Cephalon, a mysterious new city in Arizona that harbors a massive mechanical brain referred to simply as "The Brain." As Lee navigates the intricacies of his new environment, he grapples with questions about the military's intentions for The Brain and his own connection to this advanced technology, which could be more powerful than the atomic bomb. The opening of the book introduces Lee as he embarks on an unusual cargo flight to Cephalon, accompanied by a flight engineer. He is perplexed by the urgency of the mission and the peculiar nature of his cargo—terminites—which leads to a series of questions about the purpose of the city. Upon arrival, Lee encounters a bustling atmosphere of scientists and military personnel, hinting at the city's hidden agendas. Shortly after, he learns about Dr. Scriven, the brain specialist who leads the project, and the ambitious goals connected to The Brain, including using it to enhance national security through an augmented understanding of both human and collective insect intelligence. As Lee settles into this strange new world replete with technological wonders, he is left to ponder his place and the impending ethical implications of creating such an immense force.
