"The Happy Man" by Gerald W. Page is a science fiction novella that paints a picture of a future where most people are asleep, living in dreamy illusions, while a few 'wakers' like Hal Nelson fight for real freedom. After escaping a sleep-inducing communal life, Nelson meets Glynnis, another waker, and together they battle patrol forces and robots to get supplies. As they face the dangers of their world, their relationship grows, and they come up with a risky plan to wake everyone up, raising questions about what it means to be free and connected in a world of manufactured dreams.
