Summary "Don't Look Now" by Leonard Rubin is a science fiction narrative presented as a short story that was originally published in "Galaxy Magazine" in the early 1960s. Set in a futuristic world, the story explores themes of technology, control, and the implications of advertising as it intertwines with personal lives. The plot centers around characters dealing with the ramifications of advanced inventions, particularly a device known as the radiocompressor, which can manipulate perceptions and reality, raising questions about ethics and the nature of consent in a society shaped by powerful corporate interests. The storyline revolves around a medical setting where characters like Miss Knox, a nurse, and Dr. Brooks, a radiologist, confront a critical emergency involving a patient, Mr. William Barger, who is severely incapacitated due to an illness linked to his own invention, the radiocompressor. As they rush against time to treat him, the narrative unfolds to reveal a web of corporate espionage and manipulation involving advertising tycoons who seek to exploit Barger’s technology for their own gain. The climax builds around the dangers posed by this technology not just to individuals, but also to society at large, as it becomes clear that control over such powerful inventions can lead to dire consequences, ultimately culminating in a desperate plan to save not only their patient but also the integrity of their world from the looming threat of corruption and greed.
