Dr Palfrey #31
The Insulators
Silence reigns; there is no noise that cannot be excluded. The daily roar from factories, aircraft, and explosions can all be insulated against. Humans can also be protected from the ravages of radioactive contamination. But there is a price; the loss of man's freedom. This is the dilemma that Dr. Palfrey must solve. Can he do it? The reader is the judge!
