Summary: "The Machine That Floats" by Joe Gibson is a science fiction novel likely written in the mid-20th century. The story revolves around Bill Morrow, an inventive engineer who discovers a mechanism capable of controlling gravity and lifting objects into the air. As he grapples with the implications of his revolutionary invention, Morrow must decide whether to share it with the authorities or keep it hidden to prevent potential catastrophic consequences. The opening of the novel introduces Bill Morrow in his workshop, where he successfully tests his gravity-controlling device, affectionately dubbed the "gravitor." As excitement builds, Morrow reflects on the repercussions of his invention, fearing it could escalate global tensions during the Cold War. Additionally, Morrow's inner conflict emerges as he considers the potential benefits for humanity against the threat of military exploitation. Despite the burdens of responsibility weighing on him, he seeks a way to protect both his discovery and himself while longing for companionship, especially from his friend Gwyn. The complex interplay of personal sacrifice and monumental discovery sets the stage for Morrow's journey ahead. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
