Supermind

Supermind by Laurence M. Janifer thrusts FBI agent Kenneth Malone into a bewildering Cold War landscape where psionic powers like telepathy and teleportation are very real—and dangerously unpredictable. When mysterious psychic forces begin sowing chaos throughout American institutions, from government agencies to crime syndicates, Malone receives an impossible assignment: find the source of the confusion before it destabilizes the nation. This inventive science fiction spy thriller blends paranoia and dark comedy as Malone navigates absurd bureaucracy, a perpetually befuddled FBI Director, and the genuine threat posed by rogue telepaths. Written in 1963, Supermind captures the Cold War anxieties of its era while offering a surprisingly humorous take on how easily institutions can be manipulated by forces beyond conventional understanding. The narrative weaves espionage intrigue with slapstick moments and unexpected romance, creating a unique reading experience that never takes itself too seriously. Janifer's clever exploration of chaos, control, and institutional confusion feels oddly relevant decades later. Whether you're drawn to classic science fiction, spy stories with a comedic edge, or psychological thrillers that don't demand complete seriousness, Supermind delivers smart entertainment that questions what happens when human consciousness itself becomes a weapon. Perfect for fans seeking vintage sci-fi with personality and wit.
