Summary

** "Remember the 4th!" by Noel M. Loomis is a science fiction tale centered around the Brain-Finder, a device that lets people watch their memories like movies. The story is about Doc Hambright and Slim Coleman, two private investigators struggling to make ends meet. Slim's invention, the Brain-Finder, unearths a secret about their landlord, Mr. Swanberg, and his wife when they view Doc's past. Later, they use the invention for a wealthy client, Tom Ellingbery, finding love affairs and facing moral dilemmas. The book comes to a head in a courtroom scene, where Doc destroys the machine to protect Swanberg, leading to a surprising and favorable outcome for the Ellingberys, even as Doc and Slim are left puzzled. This story cleverly looks at themes of watching, privacy, and the effects of reliving the past, all while being a detective story that is fun to read. **
