Written in 1940 as a prescient warning against both Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia, Kallocain is a forgotten masterpiece of speculative fiction—a psychological portrait of a man who collaborates with his own destruction.

What begins as a triumphant scientific breakthrough for the loyal Dr. Kall quickly spirals into a nightmare of paranoia, betrayal, and fractured love. When he tests the drug on his own wife, Linda, he discovers that even his own home is a fortress of secret rebellion. As the state demands absolute transparency, Kall is forced to confront a terrifying question: If the government knows every thought in your head, is there any room left to be human?

In a chillingly logical dystopia, a well-meaning scientist invents the ultimate tool for state control.
