| Summary | "Out of Mind" by William W. Stuart is a science fiction novel written in the early 1960s. The story explores the theme of perception versus reality, delving into the psychological and surreal experiences of its characters. The narrative revolves around the peculiar planet Nirva, a place that seems to fulfill the dreams of those who visit, but harbors hidden dangers tied to its telepathic inhabitants. The plot centers on Secad Screed, an ambitious Galactic Sector Administrator, who reluctantly agrees to go on vacation to the enigmatic Nirva to satisfy his wife and deputy. Screed, who prides himself on his rational mind, intends to expose what he considers a charlatanism surrounding the planet, which is rumored to mesmerize visitors into a dreamlike state where they lose touch with reality. Upon arriving, however, he finds his convictions challenged as he inadvertently steps into the roles and fantasies created by the planet’s inhabitants. While Viola and Garten embrace the dreamlike nature of Nirva, Screed's ironclad sense of control begins to unravel as he realizes the blurred line between reality and illusion, ultimately leading to a shocking revelation about his identity and purpose on Nirva.
