Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Remember the 4th!" by Noel M. Loomis is a science fiction story likely written in the early 1950s. The book revolves around a device called the Brain-Finder, which allows users to view their own past experiences as if they are watching a movie. This intriguing premise sets the stage for a tale that intertwines themes of investigation, memory, and the implications of technology on personal lives. The story follows Doc Hambright and his partner, Slim Coleman, private investigators struggling to stay afloat financially. When Slim finally completes the Brain-Finder, they initially see Doc's past, leading to an unexpected discovery about their landlord, Mr. Swanberg, and his beautiful wife. As they use the device to investigate a case involving a wealthy client, Tom Ellingbery, they uncover romantic misadventures and encounter moral dilemmas regarding privacy and fidelity. In a dramatic confrontation in court, Doc ultimately destroys the Brain-Finder to protect Swanberg and his wife, leading to an unexpected reconciliation between the Ellingberys, while Doc and Slim remain comically out of the loop. The narrative cleverly explores the interplay between voyeurism, ethics, and the consequences of reliving memories, all wrapped in a light-hearted detective story.
