The Floater is a mid-20th century science fiction short story by Bryce Walton that delves into the psychological challenges faced by Harry Barton, a solitary Watchman stationed in a man-made observational meteor in space. The narrative examines themes of isolation, sanity, and the human condition as Barton interacts with Dr. Von, a neuropsychologist. Notable for its exploration of time manipulation and self-sufficiency, the story highlights the impact of extreme solitude on the mind.
