A single question unravels everything: who are we when the self can be changed, copied, or manufactured? Identity is a gripping science fiction novel that fuses mid-20th century imagination with a prescient inquiry into identity crisis, human consciousness, and the moral cost of technological power. In this George O. Smith book, speculative fiction becomes a probe into identity and technology, following characters pushed to the edge of selfhood as innovations force identity transformation, memory questions, and a redefinition of what it means to be human. Equal parts psychological sci-fi and futuristic identity exploration, the narrative builds suspense while interrogating the soul of modernity. Historically significant and stylistically vivid, this work stands as a landmark of classic sci-fi literature an era-defining meditation on consciousness that influenced generations of writers and thinkers. Now out of print for decades, Alpha Editions proudly republishes Identity, meticulously restored for today s and future generations. This edition is not just a reprint; it s a collector s item and a cultural treasure, thoughtfully remastered for readability and archival quality. Perfect for casual readers drawn to provocative thought experiments and collectors of mid-century speculative fiction, Identity offers a timeless, unsettling journey into identity exploration. Read it for the suspense, stay for the questions it leaves you with: when technology reshapes the mind, who remains the original?
