A science fiction novel written in the early 1960s. The story revolves around a group of scientists who conduct an experiment on a typical American man, searching for the essence of the recruited by scientists Dr. Frederick Braun, Patricia O'Gara, and Ross Wooley to undergo tests with an invisibility serum. As he experiences life without the constraints of visibility, Crowley embarks on a series of adventures, revealing his true character and a desire for power. The experiment quickly spirals out of control as Crowley begins to use his newfound abilities for personal gain, forming a criminal alliance and plotting political aspirations. This leads to a realization for the scientists that the so-called ''Common Man'' may not be as innocent as they hoped, prompting a tense exploration of ethics and societal implications of unchecked human behavior through the lens of Crowley's transformation from an everyday man into a figure of potential chaos.
