Summary: "Growing Up on Big Muddy" by Charles V. De Vet is a science fiction novella written in the mid-20th century. The story revolves around a space explorer, Kaiser, who becomes stranded on a planet he names Big Muddy, after his scout ship crashes. The book explores themes of survival, identity, and the intersection between human and alien life as Kaiser navigates his new reality and the peculiar native species on the planet. The narrative follows Kaiser as he grapples with the challenges of repairing his damaged scout ship while dealing with the effects of a symbiotic organism that has invaded his body. Initially bewildered by his transforming state, including involuntary changes in behavior and speech patterns reminiscent of childhood, he discovers that the symbiote is trying to adapt him to his environment. As Kaiser interacts with the seal-like natives, he recognizes their increasing intelligence and his own gradual transformation, leading to an urgent decision regarding his identity and the nature of humanity itself. With a mix of existential contemplation and adventure, De Vet's work invites readers to ponder the boundaries of self and the essence of connection. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
