Summary

"The Perfectionists" by Arnold Castle is a science fiction story from the 1950s that plunges into a world obsessed with flawless beings. After a shipwreck, Frank Pembroke winds up in Puerto Pacifico, a city where everyone is fixated on being perfect. He discovers the city's sinister secret: the society forces its residents to fit an ideal image, punishing those who don't conform, sometimes leading to horrific outcomes. Meeting odd characters, like the seemingly perfect Mary Ann, Pembroke plots to escape the town's twisted values. As Pembroke grows, accepting his own short comings, he fights for survival and reveals a deeper, sinister truth of the city’s twisted ambition.
