Question of Comfort

What if Disneyland's Tomorrowland was a battleground for scientific truth? In this oddball 1950s sci-fi novel, a creative director at Disneyland is building the ultimate attraction: a realistic tour of the Solar System. The problem? The 'Hollywood Mind' wants rocket ships that look cool, not ones that fly right. So he assembles the Gravity Gang, a team of physicists and engineers obsessed with getting gravity, momentum, and orbital mechanics exactly correct. But as the project advances, external threats and internal betrayals mount, leading to a confrontation with a rival who represents everything the protagonist despises. It's a strange, specific, deeply human story about what happens when you care more about truth than success, set in a place that shouldn't exist in science fiction at all. Part corporate satire, part space-age fever dream, this is the rare novel that captures what it felt like to believe the future was something you could build with your own hands.
