Quist journeys to the south coast of England as part of a survey into the areas where mustard gas was dumped into the sea during the Second World War. While there he learns that his old colleague, McArthur, is living nearby, and so decides to pay him a visit. But Quist then discovers that his old friend is now being kept alive purely by machines, and soon will he lose all physical sensations, existing purely as a mind kept alive by mechanical means…
