Miller, Jr. gives us a reflective look at mid-20th-century society with "A Canticle for the Fifties," following it with the profound "The First Canticle." In the realm of lodestone fiction, Algis Budrys's "Nobody Bothers Gus" stands out. The intricacies of self-doubt and intellect are vividly captured in Daniel Keyes's "Flowers for Algernon."
