JACK CADY
What if you could make things vanish, purely with a simple effort of your mind? What would you do? Who would want to control that power?
Jack Cady, in The Man Who Could Make Things Vanish, releases a long pent-up everyman rage against a system that is designed to terrorize, inhumanize, and degrade the human experience. The secret organization behind this villainy is given a name here—Mobilier—and the only thing that can stop it from complete world domination is one man.
Cady, an outspoken critic of the military industrial complex and over-reaching government action, turns his considerable talents to pose a scathing “What if?” that is still terrifyingly relevant and cautionary today as it was when the book was first released more than thirty-five years ago.
Introduction by Dale Bailey, winner of the Shirley Jackson Award.
