Summary "Bullet with His Name" by Fritz Leiber is a science fiction novella written in the late 1950s. This thought-provoking work explores the intricacies of human choices and the consequences of one's actions, set against a backdrop of surreal experiences and inexplicable gifts bestowed upon its protagonist, Ernie Meeker. The narrative addresses the struggles of an ordinary man who unexpectedly receives extraordinary capabilities, compelling readers to ponder the nature of potential and responsibility. The story follows Ernie Meeker, an average man whose life takes a bizarre turn when he gains a series of extraordinary gifts from unknown cosmic beings. Among these gifts are an everlasting razor blade, the ability to read at a glance, and an uncanny insight into human behavior. However, as he grapples with these newfound powers, Ernie finds himself overwhelmed and conflicted, leading him to reject many of the gifts and ultimately resulting in unforeseen consequences. The climax unveils a tragic end as Ernie's choices culminate in his demise, serving as a poignant reflection on the weight of one's decisions and the potential dark paths of self-denial. Throughout, Leiber crafts a tale that intertwines personal growth with the exploration of higher powers, leaving readers to question what it truly means to embrace one's gifts.
