Summary "The Issahar Artifacts" by Jesse F. Bone is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The book explores themes of isolation, alien intelligence, and the implications of discovery within the vastness of space. It delves into the consequences of human ventures beyond Earth, as well as the philosophical inquiries regarding the nature of existence and consciousness. The narrative follows a biologist who finds himself stranded on an alien planet after a spaceship disaster. As he grapples with loneliness and fear, he becomes aware of a subtle presence that hints at a strange, intelligent life form—an algae-like entity in the surrounding water. His struggle for survival becomes a psychological battle against this unknown entity, leading him to destroy it in a desperate attempt to reclaim his peace of mind. Eventually, he sends out a signal for rescue while pondering the fate of intelligent beings like himself, leaving readers to reflect on the delicate balance between humanity and the unknown complexities of life in the universe.
