| Summary | "Meeting at the Summit" by Ivar Jorgensen is a science fiction narrative written in the mid-20th century. The book revolves around a suspenseful encounter between the President of the United States and an extraterrestrial delegate, discussing the pressing issues of humanity's spiritual development amidst a backdrop of political and social turmoil. The story begins with the President, tired from his responsibilities, receiving an urgent request from his Press Secretary to travel to Mount Rainier for a conference. Upon arrival, he learns that he has been contacted by Rex, a representative from the Seventh Sector, who reveals that Earth stands on the brink of annihilation due to its violent history and lack of spiritual progress. Rex explains that if humanity does not evolve positively within a five-year timeframe, civilization will be eradicated to maintain cosmic harmony. The narrative delves into the President's internal struggle as he contemplates his nation’s values, the urgency of initiating global change, and the uncertainty of his political future, ultimately deciding to run for office again to lead humanity in the right direction, under the looming threat of extinction.
