Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Fall of Archy House" by Tom W. Harris is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The story centers around Archy House, a television producer whose innovative technology leads to chaos when live projections of characters begin to invade the real world. As Archy grapples with the consequences of his creation, he faces both personal and professional challenges that culminate in a dramatic resolution. The narrative follows Archy as he attempts to manage the fallout from a malfunction in his revolutionary full-projection television technology, which results in a multitude of projections—characters from his shows—running wild across the country. Alongside his top writer, June Manning, and chief engineer, Otto Kahler, Archy navigates a series of escalating crises, including international diplomatic incidents and societal chaos. Ultimately, in a bid to regain control, Archy devises a plan that cleverly uses the pandemonium to his advantage, culminating in a grand wedding at Big Butte, Wyoming, where he enacts a solution to eliminate the rogue projections while reflecting on his relationship with June. The blend of humor, tension, and character development offers a sharp commentary on ambition, technology, and the unpredictability of life.
