520    A Man Obsessed is a science fiction novel by American 
       author Alan E. Nourse first published in 1955. HE HUNTED 
       HORROR THROUGH A MANIAC WORLD! Jeffrey Meyer had a killing
       on his mind. It meant nothing to him that his towering 
       Twenty-first Century world was going mad. He shouldered 
       aside the rising tide of narcotics-mania, the gambling 
       fever, the insatiable lust for the irrational. Jeff had 
       his own all-consuming obsession—Paul Conroe must die! 
       After a five-year frenzied chase, Jeff had his victim 
       cornered; he'd driven him into the last hideaway of the 
       world's most desperate men—the sealed vaults of the human-
       vivisectionists. And Jeff knew that to reach his final 
       horrible objective, he must offer himself also as a guinea
       pig for the secret experiments of the world's most feared 
       physicians! Alan E. Nourse's novel A Man Obsessed has the 
       impact of Orwell's 1984 and the imaginative vigor of 
       Huxley's Brave New World. Concerning A Man Obsessed, Alan 
       E. Nourse said; "The idea was drawn from my experience in 
       minor grade medical guinea-pigging which I as a medical 
       student have done from time to time. The Hoffman Medical 
       Center, originally conceived as a likely development in 
       the future of medical treatment and research, is not 
       modeled on any existing organization. Medical mercenary 
       work does, however, exist at the present time for testing 
       new drugs, studying physiological effects, and in some 
       cases testing rather dangerous procedures. Cash is paid 
       for participation, and certain groups of experiments have 
       become very popular among medical students as a source of 
       very easy, if slightly risky, income."  Total Running Time
       (TRT): 4 hours, 41 min. Reading by Mark Nelson. Alan 
       Edward Nourse (1928-1992) was an American science fiction 
       author and physician. He wrote both juvenile and adult 
       science fiction, as well as nonfiction works about 
       medicine and science. His SF works generally focused on 
       medicine and/or psionics. Psionics refers to the practice,
       study, or psychic ability of using the mind to induce 
       paranormal phenomena. Examples of this include telepathy, 
       telekinesis, and other workings of the outside world 
       through the psyche. His novel The Bladerunner lent its 
       name to the Blade Runner movie, but no other aspects of 
       its plot or characters, which were taken from Philip K.
