| Summary |
"It Could Be Anything" by Keith Laumer is a science fiction novel likely written in the early 1960s. The story explores themes of identity, reality, and human existence through a surreal narrative. It follows the protagonist, Brett, as he delves into a bizarre world governed by enigmatic forces, questioning the nature of his surroundings and ultimately confronting the notion of what is truly real. The narrative centers around Brett, a young man from the small town of Casperton, who embarks on a journey to discover life beyond his familiar existence. After a train mishap leads him to a hidden, desolate city ruled by strange entities known as Gels, he encounters Dhuva, a resident who shares his skepticism about their surreal reality. As they navigate the city populated by lifelike golems, they uncover disturbing truths about its hollow, controlled nature, leading them to devise a plan to escape and challenge the power of their unseen overseers. The story culminates in a dramatic confrontation and reveals profound reflections on the limitations of perception and the importance of seeking truth. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
