About the Book

"Breaking Point" is a science fiction short tale written by James E. Gunn, a well-known personality in the genre noted for his creative and thought-provoking works. This narrative is an intriguing look at human nature and the consequences of advances in technology. "Breaking Point" follows the life of a competent mechanic named Ralph, who has a great appreciation for the art of human beings and the craftsmanship of machines in a future where civilization has reached a breaking point owing to overreliance on technological advances. Humans in this world have become entirely reliant on machines for their everyday requirements, leading to an acute divide between people who embrace and those who oppose automation. Ralph finds himself on a quest of self-discovery and resistance against the dominating flood of technology as he navigates this divided the globe. His quest for authenticity and the preservation of creativity becomes a moving statement on the erosion of human talents and the dehumanizing impacts of technology. "Breaking Point" by James E. Gunn is a timeless examination of the tensions between human creativity, craftsmanship, and the temptation of automation. It poses provocative concerns regarding the effects of technology on society, as well as the significance of striking a balance between innovation and the preservation of human talents and traditions.
