Summary "Dreamer's World" by Bryce Walton is a science fiction novel published in the early 1950s. The narrative revolves around a future society where individuals avoid reality through the use of anesthesia, promoting a culture devoid of conflict and physicality. The plot follows Greg Dalson, who faces a critical choice as he strives to save Pat Nichols, a woman who has rejected this anesthetic life and aims to join a group of colonists planning to escape to Venus. The story unfolds as Greg's mental and emotional stability is tested when he learns that Pat is preparing for a one-way trip to Venus, which he perceives as a form of suicide. Determined to rescue her and confront the Controllers who maintain the anesthetic societal structure, Greg embarks on a perilous journey to the Outside. His conflict intensifies as he grapples with the nature of sanity and destruction, ultimately realizing the importance of agency and the acceptance of reality. The climax reveals both a physical and psychological confrontation that forces Greg to confront what it truly means to be sane in a society that prizes anesthesia over engagement with the world. The story culminates in a transformative experience that challenges Greg's perceptions of reality, choice, and the nature of existence itself. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
