| Summary |
"Back to Julie" by Richard Wilson is a science fiction narrative likely written in the mid-20th century. The story revolves around the complex dynamics of alternate dimensions and human relationships, exploring themes of truth, ambition, and personal transformation. The protagonist navigates through a parallel universe where he becomes entangled in a plot involving a truth gas that could alter political landscapes. The tale follows a character who possesses the unique ability to travel between dimensions, which is sought after by a corrupt District Attorney named Krasnow. In exchange for assisting Krasnow in acquiring a formula for the truth gas—an invention that has eradicated war in his universe—the protagonist finds himself emotionally drawn to Julie, a charming woman from the alternate timeline. As he successfully retrieves the formula while enjoying the pleasures of Julie's world, he grapples with his own moral dilemmas and aspirations for power. Eventually, he realizes that he can use the same deceptive schemes as Krasnow in Julie’s dimension, leading him to reconsider his motives and plans for the future as he resolves to return to her.
