Description
Camp Concentration: A Novel by Thomas M. Disch In a chillingly plausible alternate 1970s, America has declared war on the rest of the world and its own citizens. The consequences are dire, as the army conducts conscienceless experiments in "intelligence maximization" at a secret facility. Prisoners are given a powerful drug, Pallidine, derived from the syphilis spirochete, and their mental abilities quickly rise to genius levels. However, this comes at a terrible cost: death. This thought-provoking novel explores the darker aspects of human nature and the consequences of unchecked ambition.
