Summary "Headhunters of Nuamerica" by Stanton A. Coblentz is a science fiction novel written during the early 20th century. Set in a future society three hundred years ahead of its time, the book explores themes of survival, identity, and the bizarre customs of a radically transformed civilization. The narrative follows two protagonists, Downey and Judith, who awaken from a prolonged unconsciousness caused by a bombing raid, only to find themselves in a world drastically different from the one they knew. The story centers on Downey and Judith as they navigate the whims of the strange society of Nuamerica, where an unusual practice of decapitation is employed to prolong the lives of the elderly by grafting their heads onto the bodies of the young. As they grapple with their predicament and the outlandish customs they encounter, including the "Decapitation Draft," the duo struggles to prove their identities in hopes of avoiding a grim fate. The novel combines elements of humor and horror as they attempt to evade a gruesome destiny, ultimately discovering risks, romance, and the true meaning of heroism in a society turned upside down. Their journey highlights their resilience and determination to survive in an absurd world. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
