Summary "The Girl from Bodies, Inc." by Leonard G. Spencer is a science fiction novella written in the mid-20th century. The story explores themes of identity, aging, and the choices we make concerning our lives and bodies. It presents a futuristic idea where individuals can exchange their old bodies for new, younger ones, delving into the implications of such a technology. The narrative centers on Hugh Horner, a 47-year-old man feeling the weight of age and unfulfilled potential. After a conversation with a massage therapist about aging and body replacements, Horner is swept into a surreal experience with a clandestine organization called Bodies, Inc. He makes a fateful decision to switch bodies with a younger man, but the outcome is not what he expected. Horner finds himself entangled in the life of a convict, Lionel Overman, leading to a dramatic chain of events that challenge his identity and relationships. As he faces the realities of his choice, he grapples not only with the physical changes but also with issues of morality and personal connection, ultimately striving to reclaim his life in the face of overwhelming odds.
