| Summary | "Bramble Bush" by Alan Edward Nourse is a science fiction novel likely written in the mid-20th century. The book explores the complexities and challenges of psionics, particularly focusing on the development of psychic abilities in children and how adult influences may inhibit that growth. Central to the plot is Dr. David Lessing's research at the Hoffman Medical Center, where he aims to understand and cultivate these emergent psionic potentials among children at a special facility known as "the Farm." The story follows Dr. Lessing as he grapples with the implications of his psionic theory after an unexpected incident involving a young boy named Tommy. The narrative unfolds with Lessing and his colleagues facing skepticism from Dr. Melrose, a scientist with conflicting data that challenges their claims. The tension builds as they navigate the murky waters of research ethics, professional authority, and the true nature of psionic phenomena. As Lessing confronts the limits of his understanding and the potential harm of his authoritative stance, he considers rewriting his impending publication to better reflect the nuances of their findings. Ultimately, the novel poses significant questions about the authority of scientific knowledge and the unpredictable nature of discovery. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
