Summary "Breathes there a man" by Charles E. Fritch is a science fiction novel likely written in the early 1950s, a time when themes of government control and societal structure were increasingly prevalent in literature. Set in a future where people's lives are regulated by the oppressive Super State, the story revolves around protagonist Arthur Dunlop, who becomes embroiled in intrigue and espionage as he discovers that a World Bureau of Investigation (WBI) agent is among his coworkers. The narrative explores themes of freedom, conformity, and rebellion against a soulless regime that taxes even the air people breathe. The storyline follows Arthur Dunlop as he navigates the oppressive constraints of his government's control, coupled with personal deception and danger. While working on designs for a respirator meant for a polluted world, he receives a cryptic warning about a WBI agent in his office, igniting suspicion and paranoia. As Arthur engages with characters like Julie, a member of the underground resistance, and faces threats from robotic enforcers and government officials, he grapples with his own loyalties and the system's deceit. The plot intensifies as he becomes a target of both the authorities and his own colleagues, culminating in a trial that thrusts him into a Lunar Prison Colony, where a deeper plan involving rebellion against the government is revealed. Ultimately, the novel examines the struggle for freedom in a world where individualism is stifled, and a surprising alliance forms for a potential uprising against the harsh regime.
