Summary "Scrambled World" by Basil Wells is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century, specifically in the post-World War II era. The story explores themes of time travel, altered realities, and the impact of technological advancement on society. The plot centers on a time traveler, Devin Orth, who navigates a drastically changed Earth three million years into the future, confronting a bizarre and dangerous new world. In the narrative, Devin Orth and his companions journey through time in search of a means to shield humanity from the fallout of atomic power. Upon landing in the distant future, Orth discovers that Earth has been transformed into a kind of park by descendants of humanity, who have created a society that appears to revive aspects of American history. As he interacts with locals, including a frontiersman named Dun Horgan and an enigmatic woman named Ayna, Orth faces both physical threats and confusion about the cultural and historical context around him, marked by a surreal mash-up of time periods. Ultimately, he learns that he cannot return to his time with newfound knowledge, yet finds hope in the possibility of salvaging humanity's future. The story serves as a reflection on civilization, its achievements, and the potential ramifications of technological dependence. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
