Question of Comfort by Les Cole
QR code
"Question of Comfort" by Les Collins is a science fiction novel written in the late 1950s. The narrative follows a protagonist heavily involved in the development of an elaborate Disneyland attraction that simulates a tour of the Solar System. Throughout the story, themes of reality versus illusion, the struggles of creativity within corporate constraints, and the ethical dilemmas of his mission unfold. The plot centers on a character who is orchestrating the
creation of a realistic space tour at Disneyland while dealing with personal and external conflicts. As he navigates the creative battles with the so-called "Hollywood Mind"—those who trivialize scientific accuracy in favor of popular myths—he assembles the "Gravity Gang," a team of uniquely skilled individuals aimed at adding authenticity to the attraction. As the project advances, both internal and external threats emerge, culminating in a perilous confrontation with a rival who embodies the very monster the protagonist fears. This culminates in a revelation about identity and duty, as well as the realization of the importance of collaboration and trust within a creatively charged environment. The story explores the intersection of human ambition, societal expectations, and the responsibility that comes with ingenuity. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
