Summary "Destiny Times Three" by Fritz Leiber is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The story explores complex themes of identity and duality, primarily through the experiences of its main characters, Thorn and Clawly, as they navigate an intricately woven narrative filled with nightmarish dreamscapes and existential crises. The plot delves into the unsettling implications of alien minds potentially invading human consciousness, leading to profound questions about individuality and reality. The opening of the story introduces Thorn at an art event celebrating a symchromy titled "the Yggdrasil," where the themes of cosmic dread guide the narrative. He is struck by the connection between the ancient myth and their impending hypothesis presentation to a committee, hinting at deeper, sinister truths lurking beneath the surface of their utopian society. In a moment of unexplainable compulsion, Thorn commits an irrational theft of a mysterious object, setting the stage for a narrative rich with tension and intrigue. As the plot unfolds, readers are introduced to Thorn's complex friendship with Clawly and their shared burdens against an impending, possibly otherworldly threat, making the beginning a compelling invitation into the haunting and layered reality of their world.
