Summary

"Expediter" by Mack Reynolds is a gripping science fiction story set in Transbalkania, a land where bureaucracy reigns. Josip Pekic, a regular young man, finds his life turned upside down when state officials pull him from his home and make him an "expediter"—someone with the power to cut through government red tape. As Josip steps into this role, he uncovers deep-seated problems within the system and recognizes a stark truth: The political leaders might not have all the answers. His journey explores themes of personal freedom versus state control, the importance of knowledge, and the courage it takes to challenge authority. After inspiring a new perspective among his people, Josip decides to seek a different life in the West, leaving behind a Transbalkania forever changed by his actions.
