Summary: "Circle of Confusion" by Wesley Long is a science fiction novel published in the early 1940s. The story delves into the themes of humanity's engineering capabilities and the consequences that arise from technological advancements, particularly focusing on the colonization and manipulation of Pluto, transforming it into a habitable world. The plot centers around John McBride, a Station Chief on Pluto, who faces a crisis when a reckless pilot, Sandra Drake, attempts to fly her ship through a man-made lens designed to project sunlight onto the planet. Her actions cause catastrophic events, leading to disruptions in the lens and threatening the lives of everyone on the planet. McBride must navigate the ensuing chaos, manage the fallout from her dangerous maneuver, and work with his team to restore order and safety while contending with the arrogance and recklessness of Drake, who ultimately seeks to prove her superiority in a male-dominated field. As they race against time to fix the lens and save their world, themes of gender roles, the consequences of hubris, and the fragility of civilization emerge throughout the narrative.
