The Kenzie Report

"The Kenzie Report" by Mark Clifton, explores a scientist's unusual quest, challenging what it means to be intelligent. The story centers on Kenzie MacKenzie, a quirky scientist with a passion for ants, and his companion Pringle, as they build a device in their lab to talk to ants. Their research takes a surprising turn when they start to see that ants might be smarter than people think. The story makes us rethink how we see ourselves in the world and whether we truly understand what intelligence is. Through humor and smart conversations, Clifton encourages us to question what we know and to appreciate the amazing abilities of the world around us.
